Can I plan a pregnancy after a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy?
Bariatric surgeons recommend waiting 18 months before trying to conceive after weight loss surgery. It is important to use a form of birth control during this period even if you don’t believe you can become pregnant. During this time the body is healing and may be losing weight at a fast rate. Speak to your bariatric or family physician before planning your pregnancy.
