Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 that's a tough question.. because of age and health I would say start now.. but you don't want to hinder or stop your weight loss so soon into your recovery (high weight loss) time! Talk it over w/ a ob, and your surgeon.. explain your situation.. and explain why you may want to start trying now.. I don't know about your husbands MD, but with my mom's MD, she could get bad at anytime.. and it she had spells of feeling real bad that could last a day or many weeks. Her health deteriorating was a big issue, especially when I got pregnant.. Unfortunately she died before the baby was born and before we got married.. it was.. very hard.. If you have good reason to start early.. then try.. who knows, it could take a couple tries to get preggers! *hugs* Sally >From: gower_rebecca@... >Reply-To: OSSG-pregnant >To: OSSG-pregnant >Subject: To Dark Cherubim >Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2001 10:26:05 -0000 > >--Thank you for your reply.
