An unexpected benefit of my weight loss surgery

I've spent the majority of my adult life believing I was sterile. For 25+ years, nothing happened. Well, apparently a byproduct for men who have WLS is an increase in sperm count and viability.
As a result, I am beyond ecstatic to announce my wife and I have conceived our first child together (I have two step-daughters that I have raised, but this is my first biological), due September 3rd!
If you fine folks would not mind too much, keep us in your thoughts and prayers for a healthy baby. Thanks for this great community and have a wonderful and blessed day!

Thank you! One of the biggest reasons for me having the wls was so I could be active with my girls and live a longer life to spend with my wife & them.
I think the only downside is I won't be retiring from the prison anytime soon.
