How long is the typical waiting period for WLS after delivering a baby?

I recently scheduled consults with two different surgeons for WLS; one of whom has a year long waiting list just for consults. Then I found out that I am pregnant and both stated that I would have to cancel my consults. One says he won't do surgery until one year after delivery, the other says TWO years after delivery. I'm devastated. This means that I will essentially have to wait 2-3 years for surgery. Isn't it safe to do it six months post-delivery?
