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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
