Hi Torri, This is estella, I just had the band surgery, hernia repair, and the cyst removel. Everything went well, I had surgery on October 15th. I have lost over 25 pounds so far! Have my first fill appointment today. I would get the surgery, the band that is, they say, with the band, after the year wait, you can get pregnant fast. That is what I am hoping for. I have done IVF, but in the CR and it was so much less than in the states, but for your health and the baby, I would do the band first. estella:blush:

Hello, I am scheduled for a lapband on October 15th. Is there anyone out there that is having their band put in soon? Would love to chat with you, if anyone is out there. ELyon

I am 34 years old. I have tried everything to get pregnant. I have PCOS as well, I had a cyst removel and I got a hernia from surgery. It's been over 2 years now and I still have a huge hernia, I am going to see yet another Dr. They do have me down for the lapband surgery too, and I also have another cyst too. after this surgery, I am so hoping to have a baby as well. But I do have to wait a year too. I love your story, it caught me right away.

I have a had a hernia and was "fixed" on 12/31/07 and it broke and the Dr took the suture back out and it broke wide open. The Dr wanted me to do GB and than I saw another Dr and he told me Lapband. So, my old Dr wouldn't do lapband and the new Dr will. Do to infection, he said this was the best way. I also have PCOS and so I am also having cyst removel wit hthe other surgery too. Just wondering if I'm one of the only ones to have to go through a surgery like this? I'm looking for people who have been through what I'm facing or others that are facing this kind or surgery as well. Please help if you can, I'm getting nervous and I still have 1 more medically supervised meeting to go through before I see the Dr. Elyon

Tracy, Thanks, I found out in 2006 I had PCOS. I also suffer from Infertility. Have you been banded yet?
