Am I to old to have the surgery in order to get pregnant? I hope not. I just had my one year post op appointment and my doctor gave me the green light to TTC and I am 34.

How long did you wait to get pregnant and was pregnancy harder then if you didn't have the surgery. My surgeon told me to wait 12 - 18 months.

What did you do to avoid getting low sugar? If you did get low sugar how did you get it back up? You might want to research the duodenal switch and its cure rate for type II diabetes

When you get the dumping how long does it last? I don't dump

Do any of you feel you should have picked a different type of surgery over the other? Never! I my switch. WLS is a very personal decision and one you should not take lightly. You need to do a lot of research and pick one that YOU can live with for the rest of your life.
