I am beyond those years, but I have heard it recommended to wait a year before trying. I have heard also that it is possible to maintain your weight loss as long as you a vigilant/diligent about what you take in. I have heard babies are heathy & fine. I do not know anyone personally, who went thru this,tho. The best to you~

the facility i'm going to have my surgery at suggests to wait at least 18months before you get pregnant. many people have noncomplicated/healthy pregnacies after WLS. i have been told that if you get pregnant before the 18mo. you 1-don't loose as much weight overall, 2-risk harming yourself as well as the baby and 3- higher chance of birth defects and miscarriages. hope this helps, holly
