Hi everyone,

I'd love to hear from other women who have gotten pregnant after having their band. So I have always been told that I would never have children because of various health issues, I think I even remarked that on a thread that someone else posted that was similar...

but well, I'm pregnant! I found out last night, and took a test this morning to confirm it. I don't know what else to say except this is nothing short of a miracle.

If anyone wants to share their band baby experience and if you had a lot of complications, or what was easy, what worked, what didn't, please let me know!

:D

Congratulations. Have you called your doctors yet? Is hubby over the moon? I read another thread about someone who just got her band is now pregnant. Maybe I need to stay off this board, lol, I am happy with my cats.

That is so exciting for you and your husband. But now I am worried. It seems to be a trend. I think I s/go back on birth control after I am banded. I'm a newlywed, but too old to want a baby.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
