And how long after surgery should you wait before trying to get pregnant?

Whether you already had your weight loss procedure done or are still considering a bariatric surgery, it’s important to know how WLS can affect your future pregnancy. While some studies can be contradictory on these topics, most agree on some really important observations, and this can be good news for both mommy and baby!
