Not really sure on this one, but I would wait 6-9 months so your body can heal. Congrats on your pregnancy. I have 4. Want one? I had major surgery before my WLS and my WLS surgeon recommended 6 months to me. I would assume a c-section is the same as major surgery. Good luck. Kathy

These are serious issues - ask your doctor(s) these important questions. Best to you.

Check with your surgeon. My surgeon would not do mine until 1 year after baby. If you are going to nurse then it will be mandatory to wait until you are finished nursing the baby. Plus my surgeon warned that it is very important not to become pregnant until at least 2 years post op too.
