My surgeon warned me about concieving after the surgery but ur proof tht it is possible. He did also say i could only have c sections, no vaginal births, is that true?

I had my surgery 27 years ago and I have never looked back. I am now into my 40′s , had three beautiful children and still no major concerns after all this time. All the Best…

Hi, that wil be a problem i think. i also wanted the surgery sooner but the surgeon woudn’t listen to me. He said that it is real imporant to take the 3 months between surgery also because the surgicalwounds can heal. Because I waitet the 3 months my recovery went really quick and the surgeon said that if we do the surgery quicker it can couse many problems because of the wounds in your stumic and your conditions.
