hi there. I am new here. I have my first consultation on Tuesday. I am trying to make a consultation with another surgeon too so that I can choose the surgeon that I feel the most comfortable with. I have struggled with my weight my whole adult life. I gave birth in August and I was already overweight and gained 40 pounds during the pregnancy. I lost 20 of that right away and have gained about 15 of that back. My main concern is if I will still be able to breastfeed my daughter. I am back at work and breastfeeding about 3 times a day and pumping 4-5 times a day. I am not sure if the limited calories will be able to sustain that. I am also at odds about telling my parents about the surgery. I want to tell them. I can't imagine keeping a surgery from them but I know that they won't agree with my decision. My husband is a huge support though. He sees how unhappy I am with my weight and thinks that this will be a great thing for me.
