Hey everyone sorry it has been a minute. Just wanted everyone to know preganacy is going well. Been going through alot of ultrasounds because of my age. Tested for downs syndrome normally 1 in 219 chance for my age but after all my testing chances are now 1 in 10,900 chance. So this is wonderful. :whatchutalkingabout He also decided to show his third leg on last Thursday yes its a boy, Terance Devon will b his name. I am due Jan 9th. He is growing wonderfully. Just wanted to update ya'll! Have a great week...

Hey everyone sorry it has been a minute computer crashed.. Went for ultrasound little one is doing great saw him doing the baby dance. Very active and good heartbeat. My heart jumped out of my chest whenI heard it. I just never imagined this was possible. I am 9 weeks now. Expecting on Jan 8th. Dont know sex of course but wanna find out. Everyone thinks its a little boy. I am so hungry all the time now so I think need to go get a little unfill because after I eat I have been throwing up. Not good. Well will keep in touch.. :thumbup:

Well just to let you all know its possible. I am 35 years old and never had a period on my own back then PCOS was not well know about. I wanted a chld since I was very young but it never worked since I wasn't having periods. I went on birth conteol to regulate and that worked some but it was not helping me get pregnant. My husband and I tried for seven years and although he had a low sperm count I knew I was the problem he had 3 girls already. We tried fertility drugs then lost insurance SO I had given up I would always be step mommy or god mommy or aunt never mom... I got banded in April of Last year and on March 7th after loosing 85 lbs I had a period on my own. But still not thinking I could get pregnant. On April 23rd I went in to have my annual exam. They asked if I could be pregnant and I said no way even though it hadbeen a moth since I had my period but i was irregular anyway. She said lets take a test just to make sure and wouldn't yo know it there was one real dark line then a very vey light line and sehe said you are pregnant... of course I bursted out crying from being in shock. She said it was a very faint pregnancy and to act as though I was pregnant and take another test in a week well since then I have taken 2 test and both of them read pregnant. I go for my first ultrasound on Wed. I keep wanting to take test because I have dreamed about this for so long and never thought it could be... SO I WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW DONT EVER GIVE UP.. I will never be able to thank Dr Speigel in houston for the life and opportunities he has given me with this lap band surgery... ANd Good luck to everyone!!!!

Congrats on the decision to get banded.. I got mine done in March of 07 and for the first time in about 12 years when my kids and I went to Orlando I was able to ride every ride adn not in the big seat section. I had no difficulty at all. It was about 4 months before i went but like I said I rode the fast ones, upside down ones and no problems so have fun...

:tt2:Hey everyone I got banded on March 13 07 and have lost about 92 pounds. Went and got third fill done 2 weeks ago and found out last week I finally am pregnant. This is a wonderful thing since due to my weight I had polysistic ovarie and was unable to concieve children so yes there is hpe. But how long should I wait has anyone else gone through this?? How long do you have to wait after having the baby before you can get your band tightened again??

Hi Rachel. Congrats ion the decision to have the surgery. I had mine done wit Dr Speigle. I also was a self pay patient. I have heard positive info on Dr Spivak also. THis is the first time I have posted a comment so I hope it will be helpful. I last 20 lbs in the first 2 weeks had my first fill 2 weeks ago and feel wonderful. Good Luck
