Gastric resection doesn't prevent a woman from becoming a mother. However, for a healthy pregnancy and for a healthy baby, there are several things to consider:

It's recommended to plan a pregnancy at least 1.5-2 years after surgery. During this time, your body will fully recover from the surgery and be ready for pregnancy. During this period, you need to start taking vitamins. I highly recommend mother.com.

Healthy weight. This is also a factor for favorable conception and delivery. The weight loss process after gastric resection can last up to 2 years. When the weight comes back to normal, you can start planning the pregnancy."
