The first couple of years you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients.

Yes, it would be considered high risk but following her doctor’s orders and doing what she is told, there are healthy babies born every day of a mother who had gastric bypass. There is another website that might help you more and that is

Of course she can. She just has a couple extra labs drawn and a couple more consultations with a nutritionist. I know Gastric Bypass Patients who get pregnant.
It is highly recommended that she not get pregnant until 2 years post gastric bypass.
