Has anyone gotten pregnant since having WLS?

I'm trying to decide if I want to get pregnant again now with the last baby and then have the wls or wait until I've had the wls and have lost the weight and get pregnant later. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Tamara! I was trying to decide on the same thing too. After talking to my Dad, who is a nurse, he assured me that I would be much better off having the surgery first. I have been lucky enough not getting gestational diabetes during my last 2 pregnancies. Think how much healthier you and your baby will be if you lose a lot of weight first. I know with the lap band, they will take the fluid out of the band when you get pregnant and then put the fluid back in to tighten the band after you've had the baby. I know 2 ladies that have gotten pregnant after their bypass and are doing fine! In both cases, they were having a hard time getting pregant before the surgery and became immediately pregnant after losing so much weight! Good Luck in your decision! Tash
