How to get pregnant after weight loss surgery?

Question

I just had weight loss surgery 5 months ago and seem to be having problems becoming pregnant. Can anyone tell me what I could do to better my chances of becoming pregnant?

Answer 1

I dont think you should be trying to get pregnant so soon after an operation like that.  See a doctor.

Answer 2

YOU SHOULD NOT BE EVEN TRYING TO GET PREGNANT FIVE MONTHS AFTER GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY!!!!!!!

It's not recommended to even TRY until 12-18 months when your weight has stabilized.  Your surgeon would FLIP OUT if you told him that you are already trying!

Between your rapid weight loss, limited capacity, and still healing from MAJOR surgery, your body IS NOT READY for pregnancy.  

I'm not trying to be rude, but didn't they go over this in detail before surgery?!? I had to sign a form specifically detailing that this was discussed.
