Pregnancy After Being Banded.



Recommended Posts

My mom is not on board with me being banded. She thinks I'll loose any baby my husband & I get pregnant with. Has anyone been able to get pregnant successfully after being banded? What precautions will my doctors take to insure my future baby is safe?

There are many, many healthy band babies born all the time. I heard a doctor on doctor radio say that his waiting room is full of pregnant woman (mainly because you can become very feritle after losing weight) and some of his lap band ladies are on their second or third baby. This is one of the main reasons I'm getting banded, so it's definitely safe!

Last time I checked we carry a baby in the womb... Not the stomach, I am not a dr but I don't see what the correlation is. There are several pregnant women who are patient of my dr so I think maybe if it's important to you ask mom to go with you to your consult and ask the question specifically. The dr will tell the truth.
