Yes, you should just wait 12-18 months.

I am planning a second child post op. I hope to lose most of my weight in the first 12-18 months before concieving. Never forget what its like to be obese and never stand by while someone else is treated badly. Good luck in your journey!

In order to ensure the best possible chances (under your control) of having a healthy baby, BTC says NOT to get pregnant for 2 years. There are certain vitamins, minerals, etc. that are crucial to a baby's development and during that time you aren't eating enough to give a baby the best that it deserves to have. During the first tri-mester you must increase your fat intake to provide for the neurological development of the baby. You should really check with your surgeon. Good luck.
