My husband and I are tying to get pregnant. So far we haven't and we've

been trying for almost two years. I really want to have the DS, but I also

really want to get pregnant. Which should I do first?

I guess the answer is depending on your age and general health . . . the "rule" is we should wait until about 18 months post op to conceive . . . although I have also heard that 12 months is really sufficient . . . and this wait is for the baby's sake since that is during our biggest weight loss and there is a concern about the fetus getting enough nutrients.

Whatever you do , good luck!!
