Pregnancy

Does anyone know if you can still have kids after an extended period post op?

Lisa, from what I have read it is possible to have children. I mean they suggest that you do not do this while you are loosing the weight. Maybe after a year or two depending on how much you have to loose?I would certainly ask my doctor first, just to be sure.

I think most doctors recommend waiting 18 months. It is my understanding that this is one of the reasons that many want to have the surgery-- to make having kids possible and safe. But pregnancy too soon can be very hard on your body and even endanger the baby. Joy
