Hello all, so glad to find this forum. I am having the sleeve surgery in January and i'm STILL breastfeeding my 22 month old toddler. I am so worried about having the surgery because he nurses ALL DAY LONG. he is seriously hooked! SO i'm not worried about my supply really, i'm more worried about the pain of having him on me. i'm also worried about tearing and the incision site. Has anyone nursed a day after surgery? If so, i'm curious to hear how it went!! other than that i'm very excited/terrified.

Hi it was totally fine! I honestly can't remember too well but I'm still breastfeeding now. I don't even remember it hurting at all and I definitely didn't have any problems producing milk. Good luck!!

Hi Wonder woman! I am also getting a sleeve but i'm going into Manhattan to NYU because my husband got a lapband there and loves his doctor. I live in Montclair though. I am getting the surgery in January. I was hoping to go to support meetings in Jersey though, i wonder if i can go to the ones at Mountainside if I dont have the surgery there. I'll have to call them to find out. Anyway, good luck on your surgery!!
