Pregnancy after Gastric Bypass Surgery
If you had a tubal ligation in the past then you will be unable to get pregnant after a gastric bypass. Gastric bypass surgery does improve infertility due to hormonal changes in the body. You have to wait at least one year after bariatric surgery to get pregnant because you cannot support a fetus with massive weight loss. If you would like to get pregnant again you have to go to a gynecologist to reverse the tubal ligation.

Pregnancy after GBP
If your tubes are tied they will stay tied. The bypass is unrelated. Obesity is a common cause for infertility. This is typically reversed after surgery and weight loss. However, I recommend waiting at least 1 year after weight loss surgery prior to getting pregnant.
