Hi All.. i am also being banded on 5/21.. only 2 days away... Holly i feel your pain... i too have PCOS and my doctor has said that weight loss is my best chance to be able to concieve. I wanted to loose weight anyways to be healthy for me and my family.. but being a mommmy is my dream! We have one child (by adoption) and i can't wait to be able to give him a bro/sis and be able to be pregnant and everything.. Good luck to you!!

Thanks!! Nice to meet you too! Good luck to everybody getting their surgery this month.. make sure and keep in touch!

Hello I am also having my surgery on the 21st! My process was not as quick as yours though... =) but it was all worth it in the end! I am really excited to start this next chapter in my life!! Good luck to you... we are part of 2008 a-MAY-zing Bandsters!!

I just wanted to share my story to give hope to all still waiting... i started my 6 months doctor's visits in october.. I have everything finished and submitted to the insurance company on 3/13... i received a letter of denial on 3/18 stating that the facility wasn't "in network" ... the doctors corrected the paperwork (they accidentally put in the wrong facility) and the paperwork was re-submitted on 3/20. I was then expecting the worst and i HATED the waiting game.. but much to my surprise just a few weeks later on 4/8 i received my letter of approval rom Cigna!! it was so much easier than i anticipated!! So to all who are waiting keep your head up and keep positive.. it can be a simple process so don't stress too much at first!! Just wait to see what happpens!

hello All! This is my first post. I wanted to find out from all the veteran banders.. One of my main motivations is to have a child. I have PCOS and i have been told if i can just get some weight off then i should be able to concieve with no problems. How long after the band is it safe to get pregnant? Thanks so much for everybody's thoughts and answers...:thumbup:

Thank you so much for your answer... I am def going to talk to my surgeon as soon as i get my surgery date... Good luck with your weight loss and TTC!! Hopefully their will be babies in our near future!!
