Does everyone have to have a C-Section after RNY?

I'm not pregnant yet, or trying at the moment. I have never had any kids. I would obviously prefer to deliver vaginally. Is it even possible, or does the fact that I have had RNY automatically schedule me a C-Section?

 

What have been your experiences?

Absolutely not!  Your weight loss surgery has no effect on your ability to give birth vaginally.  In fact, unless you have other issues, it should not automatically make you "high risk" as some doctors seem to believe.  I had a c-section with my first baby pre wls, and my second baby, post op was a vaginal birth.  So, I really don't fit that bill!
