Question:
Post-op, do you have trouble producing milk?

I am researching surgery now, and was wondering if nursing a baby is possible if I get pregnant postop. I would like to nurse for at least 9 mos. to a year as I did with my first baby. Thanks    — [Anonymous] (posted on August 31, 2001)

Please come join our Yahoo! group... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OSSG-breastfeeding There's only 15 of us now, but we are dealing with breastfeeding issues both pre- and post-op and there's some pretty experienced women in the group.<br><br>By the way, the short answer is YES. There are women that have had surgery and have gone on to nurse 2 years or more.<br><br>Hope this helps.
