The question is - when is the right time to get pregnant after undergoing weight loss surgery?

Let me start off by saying that your stomach has nothing to do with your uterus, so physically it’s very possible. It's essential to understand that physically, you can get pregnant after weight loss surgery. Your stomach and uterus aren't interconnected in a way that would prevent you from getting pregnant.

However, the major concern is malnourishment - a consequence of getting pregnant too soon after surgery.

Therefore, waiting at least 1.5 years before planning a pregnancy is necessary.

During the first few phases after surgery, your body undergoes many adaptations. It's essential to focus on getting the appropriate amount of vitamins and nutrients that your body needs for successful weight maintenance. Moreover, drinking plenty of water and avoiding overeating is also crucial.

So, waiting for your body to heal, and learning how your digestion is affected after surgery is KEY before considering pregnancy.

Deciding to get pregnant after weight loss surgery involves carefully considering various factors. While physically, there's no reason why you can't get pregnant after such a surgery, your body's nutritional state and overall health will significantly affect the baby's growth and health.

Waiting for around 1.5 years after surgery to plan a pregnancy and consulting with your healthcare provider are vital steps in ensuring a healthy pregnancy and baby.

This way you can mostly focus on getting the correct nutrients in for you and the baby without worrying about the learning process of the first year or so after surgery.
