You are quite welcome - I do just recall the several convos we had in my pre-op class regarding pregnancy - and I just wanted to help provide you some info, because the doctor who gave you that "leary" feeling about pregnancy after WLS was blowing smoke

Thank you for all the information. I really appreciate it. I'm so on the fence about doing this is crazy. I've never put more thought into a decision in my entire life! The more information i get the more answers and questions i get so i have a long journey ahead of me to get to a decision.

Hey there - I just saw you convo in the Chatbox. I've heard similar info as Kate has Kristina.

A couple of links I've just posted in the Chatbox:

Obviously you do want to consult with the professionals before drawing any conclusions. But from what you say the doctor has told you - I have to disagree with. I was even told in the pre-op classes I was required to take... Well there was more than a few conversations about the increased fertility rate amongst female post-ops. So... You may want to consult with another WLS professional to see what they say regarding your chances of pregnancey as a post-op

Good luck.

Hi Kristina - you are quite welcome! I'm glad you decided to join The Journey and proud of you for seeking out information. It's my opinion that a well-educated WLS candidate is the best candidate!
