Question:
Has anyone given birth post gastric bypass surgery?

If so, were: 1.)There any problems conceiving, or fertility related issues? 2.) Any complications with the pregnancy related to GPB? 3). What procedure did you have - RNY, etc. 4). Any post-delivery complications?    — Diane P. (posted on December 19, 2001)

Hello I stumbled accross this site when I started researching WLS. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OSSG-pregnant/ Women who have had WLS talk about pregnancy after surgery. I hope this answers your question and Good Luck!!!!!! Robin

Speaking for me and my wife Jen, being able to have a baby was a BIG reason she wanted surgery. Many women dont ovaluate when MO. Weight loss makes them fertile. I am really excited about the chance of us having a baby. Just last night we were discussing names:)

YES! Obviously there's a time frame here. Some surgeons don't recommend pregnancy within 1-2 years. But, when it happens it can be wonderfully successful. Check out this site: http://hometown.aol.com/mommy4alex/journey.html It's a woman who just had a baby post-gastric bypass.
