I know of many, many bypass people (on another board) who have had RNY and gone on to have kids--often the desire to have kids was their primary motivation in getting the surgery in the first place.

Your chances of having "normal" kids with the sleeve would be even better I would think, as long as you're getting in your Vitamins and nutrients, since sleevers don't have problems with malnourishment. However you go, good luck! :thumbup1:

This was my main question before having the surgery. My doctor told me that after I have reached my goal weight, I should wait at least 3 months after that just to make sure all is well & then I can try. He said about 18 months after surgery. He said this is an awesome surgery to have & still be able to allow your baby enough nutrients it needs.

The way I looked at it is, it's better to be at a good weight when having a baby then overweight were it might jeopardize your baby.

Good luck to you!!

I'm almost 8 months post-op, at goal, and have been cleared to TTC (try to conceive) if I can maintain my weight for the next 3 months or so.

My 7 month post-op labs were fabulous, and my surgeon said if I can maintain, then we're good to go.

If you venture over to obesityhelp, there is an entire forum dedicated to pregnancy after weight loss. There are a lot of RNY and Sleeve mommies on there. You may have to dig through the old threads, but there is a lot of information on there about how to eat, what calories, Protein and carbs are recommended by different patient's nutritionist.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
