Wanting to get pregnant is one of the main reasons I got the sleeve :P There is a whole forum dedicated to post-op pregnancy, check it out! As long as you wait the time your doctor recommends, it is very safe! :)

VSG on 11/17/09

My surgeon suggests being careful with birth control for at least 18 months after vsg. Weight loss can lead to surprises. Their practice has had at least 60 healthy babies born to post wls patients. I'm not one of them as I was 58 at surgery but lots of women have had babies. diane s
