Got preg 3 months after I was banded. Wasn't on birth control because hubby and I were split but we soon started seeing eachother again and boom I was pregnant! Doc was not mad because he new this is what hubby and I needed. We had tried for 7 years to have a baby and even spent about $20,000 on fertility trreatment. I had lost about 30lbs and that is all it took to rev up those ovaries and hormone production (I have PCOS). Now we have a beautiful 6 month old little girl. Doc unfilled me when I got pregnant and yeaterday I went back for my first fill! I had kept the weight off during pregnancy (the best I ever looked, I loved being pregnant!) but as soon as I stoped breastfeeding I put all the weight back on. This time I am going to be very careful about getting PG.
