I will be having surgery in March or April. I am 33, and will have to do IVF to have children. I hate to wait the 2 years that I am seeing recommended online. Has anyone had to do IVF after you had the sleeve, and if so, how long did you wait, or have to wait? Thanks!!

Not doing IVF yet but we are TTC and if it doesn't happen in the next few months, IVF is on the table. We waited the two years as recommended. It was important to me to be at my goal weight and as healthy as possible.

Plenty of ladies on here don't wait and there are lots of "oopsie" pregnancies for people who are newly post op. I think that you need to talk with your doctor about why they recommend the two years. It's not without reason but knowing you want to conceive, you might get the go ahead sooner at 15 or 18 months post op.

I could handle waiting a year, but terrified about waiting longer for my reasoning. I want the best out of my surgery but also want my first child before I am 35

Had my first baby at 38. Had WLS 6 weeks later. My surgeon recommended 18 months because OBs recommended 18 months between children anyway. Also, my body has went through a crazy transition. Being pregnant, surgery, and then rapid weight loss. Ideally, the 18 months to 2 years gives you 12 to 18 months to get to goal weight and then 6 months of maintaining goal weight. That helps your body stabilize. I met goal at 8 months. Doctor says we can start the 6 month of maintenance and then start trying for number 2. We didn't have to have IVF before so hopefully it will happen naturally again (but quicker) this time as I will be 39.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
