I tried to have a 2nd child for years and after 5 IVF cycles, gave up. I had my surgery and was told not to get pregnant for at least a year. I laughed....I have PCOS and don't ovulate. After loosing a great deal of weight, I it was suggested that I take birth control. Again.... I laughed. 10 months post op I was pregnant and in Nov 2011 I gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl. Now she's 1, just stopped breast feeding, and I'm on my 2nd weight loss journey. I think surgery first, then baby. I was 22 with my first, but 34.5 with the second. It was a more difficult pregnancy 2nd time around, but very worth it. Good luck!
