How long did you wait for a baby??
emilyd replied to AppleSmith1226's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
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. -

I just got banded on December 19! I live across from the woodlands and really hope to be at the meeting so I can meet some new people that are experiencing some of the same things I am. -

emilyd replied to misltoe's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did the same thing last night. My husband (wouldn't call him dear, we are seperated) took me to the one of those movie theaters where you order dinner. I snuck in my Jello (1 week post surgery) but when I looked at the menu I ended up ordering mac and cheese off the kids menu. It was great! I only ate a few bites but after felt so guilty. Of course I called my mom when I was through and she went balistic on me:cry . Well today is a new day and I am really going to try and stay on all liquids today. GOOD LUCK ALL! -
I have never done any type of forum before but this one seems so positive! I was banded on Tuesday and feeling much better now. I am in Houston, Tx. I am 31 and I weighed 197 two weeks ago before my two week protein diet and as of today I am at 185:) . I am seperated from my husband right now and this entire process has for the first time let me focus on myself.
