I cannot answer your questions personally, however I worked in a Fertility Clinic.

I've seen patients who would come in after WLS and seen patients where the doctor recommends WLS to help with fertility. Regardless of age, number of previous pregnancies, known difficulties, or treatment needed. The doctor would not start treatment with patients until they were 12 months post op.

Not sure if that helps or not.
