You can't get pregnant after WLS...
Many patients have trouble getting pregnant prior to surgery and find that they're very fertile following surgery. This is good news if you want to have children - or it may be bad news if you don't.
Contrary to popular belief, pregnancy following WLS is very possible. Patients are much less at risk during pregnancy because their other health problems have lessened or disappeared. After your weight is back to normal, and assuming you don't have any other health problems, you can expect to have a normal delivery.
If you're a woman of childbearing age, use two forms of birth control for at least one year following surgery. During the first year, you aren't eating enough to nourish yourself plus a growing fetus, so your don't want to get pregnant then. Besides, you want to concentrate on your own weight loss during that first year. Better safe than sorry.
