Ow long is it really before you can get pregnant? I have heard 12, 18, and 24 months. What's best? My doctor told me that I would be super fertile after the surgery.

I dunno about safety, but you hear from a lot of women on here who gain back some weight during pregnancy and have a hard time losing it again afterwards, because obviously things change, and getting back into pre-pregnancy habits is harder. So, I'd think one would probably not want to rush into anything and just wait until one is as sure as possible that the new habits are stuck. If it's just a race to pregnancy, I could easily imagine difficulties after.

my doctor told me wait at least 12 months before even trying to get pregnant.

I would ask your surgeon.

I'm nearing 40 so mine told me if I have any interest in trying to get pregnant I would have to wait about 9 months. If I were younger her recommendation would be to wait until at least 18 months out.
