Gastric sleeve and pregnancy

[Elaine_of_W.V 0]

I want to start by introducing my self since I'm new to to the site. My name is Elaine..I'm 21 years of age, severely over weight and looking into getting the gastric sleeve done. My fiancé and I have been together for a very long time now and are and have been wanting to conceive but are yet to have any success.. I am well aware that my weight is one of if not the main reason we haven't yet. I do realize also that a good deal of time should pass before ttc but I don't mind to wait as long as I know I'm getting closer to have our little blessing one day... There are many reason why I want to have the gastric sleeve done.. I would love to feel better about my self but having a child Is my main reason.. Has anyone had trouble concieving after surgery ??? How long after surgery did you conceive if you do have children?.. Please share your stories I need all the encouragement I can get !!!!
