Hi, my names Alex. I just registered because I'm deciding what I want.

Lap band was actually very far from my mind a month ago. In fact I wasn't even thinking about weight loss to tell you the truth. Well just little diets but not anything major like lap band. Then I found out this month that I get to be put back on my moms insurance. I was super excited. Then both my parents looked at me and asked me what I was going to do about actually having insurance and I told them I wanted to go to a fertility specialist (I've been diagnosed with PCOS since I was 17 and been trying to have a baby with my husband of 3 years with no success). Well then both my parents told me that I should look into lap band. So here I am. Actually they said gastric bypass but I'm not willing to take that risk. =D I've been doing research for a couple weeks now and have been talking to my husband and in laws about what they think. Looks like when I get my insurance in March that I will be going to see a surgeon. =D

That's my story. Well some of it I guess.

There is a great section here at LBT for gals with your same issues. Many who have PCOS and have had "band babies." Best wishes to you on your journey

What HB said. Bypass is so drastic and I often wonder what difficulties a bypass patient has during a pregnancy (for both baby and mom) since the bypass patient deals with malabsorption.
