Natasha: I don't know the right answer to your question, but I would
strongly recommend the guidance of your surgeon and his staff to best
advise you on the answers to your questions. As you are only now 5 mos.
postop I would think it might be a tad too soon to even consider this as I
cannot imagine you are at or near your WLS goal, or are you? I myself will
only be 7 mos. postop on 7/29 and still have 40-50# more I would like to
lose before obtaining my preop goal, but then again I am postmenopausal, so
to me any further pregnancies were not even a consideration to my
after-surgery route. However, I did glance at your profile and read the
rave reviews you provided your surgeon, so I am sure he would be honored to
provide you the guidance you need for this very special plan that is part
of your life. And, if not, I am more than certain he is connected to an
OB/GYN resource that is local to which he might refer you. Good luck and
God Bless in your new journey and way of life.

I was told one year. But I would have to agree with Trish and check with
your surgeon on what he/she recommends. Good Luck!

I had RNY just for fertility reasons. The rule I was told was that I have
to wait until my weight stabilizes before I start "trying" again.
Usually this is 12 to 18 months after surgery.

My surgeon told me to wait at least a year.
