PCOS pregnancy success story.
mrstefer replied to thefitmother's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
We to have struggled with fertility issues for 11 years. We have adopted four beautiful children but I still would love to get pregnant. I am in the starting process of getting banded but I hope to get pregnant after my weight goes down. Congrats! -
My brother is getting married and I am one of the bridesmaids in the wedding. The wedding isnt until the end of May and they are thinking I will get banded the end of December beginning of January. The problem is we have to order the dresses in two weeks. I am already between sizes so I have no clue what to do. The doctor said the average weight loss is two pounds a week so that puts it at about 40 pounds lost. How quickly did you guys loss weight in the start?

The bride does know about it and she is at a lost as to what to do. My plan was to just order the smaller of the two sizes I am inbetween because the shop said they could let it out alittle if they need to. I have lost 10 pounds sense we did our measurements so I know it will fit. I called the shop to ask about sizing the dress down if I need to and they said it can only be sized down two sizes. I think I will be fine with that. I figured I would order what fits now just incase I do not loss any weight. The good part is the dress is only fitted around the breast area but when I loss weight that is normally the first place I loss. Its funny because two other girls in the wedding are also pregnant so they are worrying about theirs not being big enough.

Im sure part of Jennifer Huduns weight loss was all the stress she went through with the loss of her family. It looks like Drew Cary had something done.

Advice needed for when to tell family....
mrstefer replied to outside*looking*in's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am in the first part of my journey and have not gotten surgery yet. I told my best friend my sister and my cousin on a play date at the park and my sister was supportive but my cousin and my best friend could only talk about how easy it is to loss weight and how bad the surgery is. Keep in mind they are both over weight and are always on a diet going up and down. I then told my grandmother and my aunt but before I told them I told they before I tell you what I have to say I do not want to hear anything negitive. My aunt had a upset look but my grandmother said good for you. That is the only people besides my father I plan to tell. I really dont feel the need to tell my husbands family or the rest of mine. Its a very personal decition and i dont want to hear negitive comments.
