Hi there Koolmama! I'm proof that you can have babies after WLS! I was unable to concieve prior to my WLS (I had the RNY) and have been able to get pregnant 2x both the 1st month trying after surgery. I had healthy pregnancies & healthy babies! Unfortunately there are potential complications with WLS (in extreme cases death) but many of those complications are due to 2 thing...one being the patients health at the time of surgery. Most times the people having WLS have multiple health issues which put them in a greater risk category for any kind of surgery. The second is post op...and most times is patient fault such as not taking vitamins and stuff like that. Of course there are some complications that can arise out of surgery like strictures but those are easily treated with a scope & dilation of the stoma via balloon.
Anyway if you have questions about WLS & Pregnancy specifically I'll do my best to answer them!
Good luck!
