Ok, Let me give a disclaimer first: If this describes you-I apologize. I am not trying to offend, but it is a discussion and question that we seem to skirt around so often on the website and I just really truly want everyone's opinion WITHOUT this being a bashing ceremony. This site was designed to assist, uplift, and inform--not to BASH. With that said....think before you respond and DONT take it personally.

Question: do you think as post op WLS patients, we have the education gained from our surgical program and we know the consequences, so why is it so hard to follow any of the instructions they give us? We made this decision to have the surgery and be successful right? So why is it so hard to not get pregnant before the 12-18 months they ask us to wait? I mean are these all "one time accidents?" Or do we just not care enough about our bodies, health, and the health of our unborn child to at least give it the best pregnancy we can give it? Who else to provide a healthy body by sacrificing all than WLS patients? We took a huge step, a brave step in taking charge of our health and to change our lives for the better. So why can't we wait???

I appreciate your HONEST answers and feelings on this matter.
