Guest guest Posted March 9, 2000 Report Share Posted March 9, 2000 I heard recommendations from 6-24 months for waiting to conceive. You can not really know for sure until you are post op. It depends on your general health and rate of weight loss. Also The surgeon will only speak from his standpoint, I suggest you talk to your ob also who will have that perspective. I was 40 with no children adn wanted to have 2 so I and my ob said 6months would probably be ok. at my 6 month post op my surgeon said go for it coz I was doing great. Surgery was 5-11-99 conception was 1-29-00. 7 1/2 mos post op. Lenore At 12:20 AM 3/9/00 +0000, you wrote: > > >Hello everyone, > I'm new to this site but am so glad that I found you.
