Has anyone been able to continue breastfeeding after surgery?

I am a single mommy and I wanted to know if I should wean up to the surgery date. I don't want any of the drugs to pass through the milk to my son. He is 10 months old. Also, can anyone give me tips on caring for your baby when you are still healing? I'm having an open RNY & I know the healing time is longer. Please tell me how any of you coped with your children post-op. Thanks for any input! One more thing~if you could do it again, what items would you have brought to the hospital? Thanks!~Crystal and baby Jayden
