trying to get pregnant....questions

I am amlost 2 years out and my husband and I would like to get pregnant.  I just went off the depo and was wondering a few things.

1)  how long does it take for that stupid depo to wear off?
2) If anyone has had a baby post surgery what do you recommend I do to make sure I am ready and healthy

My suggestion would be to visit the pregnancy board here on OH and ask your questions there.

Also, talk to your surgeon's office and your PCP to see what they recommend. They really should be involved in your care.

It took me over a year to get pregnant once off Depo, but I was 300+ at that time. I'm sure that made a difference.   If you're not getting your period, I suppose once that returns you'll know the Depo is out of your system.  Good luck!

I can't answer your question about Depo, as it was never my friend. 

But I would suggest that you do talk to your PCP and bariatric nurse about what kind of vitamin regimen changes you can start making now.  I changed my multi-vitamin to a prenatal and added some extra B12, D and Calcium.  You also will want to talk to your OB about gestational diabetes testing early on.  Finding an OB that is knowledgable about WLS is difficult.
