I have some questions for you women who have already had the sleeve and had kids after the surgery.

My name is Vanessa and I am 36 years old and I have always wanted to have kids but my doctors always said that is was not safe to have kids because of my weight. I was 550 lbs. May 2016 and now I am 456 lbs. May 2017. I am still trying to lose more weight. In September I hope to have my sleeve surgery. I want to have a baby but I am not sure if it is safe to get pregnant right away or a couple of months after surgery or 6 to 12 months after surgery? I would love to hear everybody's opinion and helpful information and comments please!! I really want a baby and I feel like my clock is ticking! I have all these crazy feeling and emotions about wanting a baby or babies!! Am I losing my mind or going crazy?!

I was told by my physician to weight at least 12 months after surgery before getting pregnant.

That's what my weight loss surgeon told me but not everybody listens to the doctors!! lol

My roommate had surgery and 4 month out got pregnant. The baby is now 3 and is semi healthy but was born 5lbs. They say to wait 15-24 months because it can be very dangerous. It's best to just wait and lose the weight and be very careful because you will be super fertile after surgery. I am still pre op. But am planning on getting pregnant as soon as my surgeon and gynecologist gives the ok. Hope any of this bit of info helps.

Because of my age my surgeon said that there's no problem for me to get pregnant after 6 months out. I've waited 9 months and starting IVF soon. Stomach tends to be 100% healed at 6 months out but due to still losing they want you at a stable weight before getting pregnant.
