[chunkies]

Hello Im new to this and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this question. My Husband and I have recently decided to have kids I also want to get the surgery done Does anyone know how long you have to wait before you have kids with this surgery? My friend got the Gastric Bypass and she was suppose to wait 1 year. Well, she got pregnant befor that and ended up having many problems with it. I dont want to give up the chance of having a family and my husband is really excited about a baby can anyone help me?

I talked to Dr. Ortiz about this during my consultation. He said it was best to wait at least 1 1/2 years to have kids after the surgery. The band & port need time to heal into place. I was over weight before I had our daughter & am now 40 pounds heavier than before. Getting the surgery now & waiting until the weight is gone most likely will make the pregnancy go better & easier & you will not have the extra pregnancy weight to lose after! Good luck!!!
