Pregnancy
I just currently met all requirements for surgery...all except meeting with the, surgeon and having him send my paper work into the insurance company (GHI). I've been pretty positive abouut LapBand being the one for me but it just occurred to me, im 23 and i definitely want babies...does any form of weightloss surgery harm my chances for future pregnancy? (i have no children now) and i'm starting to look at other forms of WLS and my main deciding factor will be pregnancy. Any opinons?
Yes - you can have babies after all types of weight loss surgery. The only thing is -- you really need to plan NOT to get pregnant within the first 12 to 18 months after surgery. Having one before then puts both of you at serious risk of problems due to malnutrition. That being said - having a baby after weight loss surgery does not make you a high risk for complications. Head over to the pregnancy board, there should be lots of info there.
