I have heard different ans. to this question. If you plan on breast feeding you have to wait until your done to breast feed, unless you only breast feed for 6 months. Most doctors ask that you wait anywhere from 1 yr. to 2 yrs. With RNY surgery you usually still losing the weight up until 2 yrs. And then your weight loss is very seldom and gradual. But all and all I've heard one year. But know that you'll have to take more vitamins then anyother regular pregnancy and will probably be monitored more closely. Also your babys birth weight will also be lower then a regular baby. Hope this helps. Good luck!
