How Soon After Banding

[stacielynntate 88]

I waited over a year before trying after having my lapband. It took us till 2010 to get pregnant still had to go thru fertility treatments still. I got pregnant in April 2010 and had my son January 24, 2011 and he will be 2 in a few weeks.

I was banded June 8, 2011; and got pregnant a month later! It was a complete shock because we had been trying for over 9 years with no luck, so I just assumed I couldn't get pregnant! WOAH! I had a miscarriage, unfortunately; but then I really got my butt in gear, and I got pregnant again in January 2012, and had my daughter September 27, 2012. I probably should have waited longer, and honestly I thought it would take longer, so that's why I started trying so early. I do recommend waiting at least a year.

My doctor says to wait a year. My husband and I have been trying since 2010. I am 31 and my husband is 34. We tried fertility treatments 2011- early 2012. After several tests and doctor visits and cash we still don't have children. When this lap band procedure fell in my lap I could not pass it up as this may be what we need to succeed. Maybe it's a sign saying "Noooo don't do it!" LOL But we both love kids. We know it will happen in Gods time.

I was banded in January of 2009 after 4 years of trying to conceive. Fell pregnant in May of 2010 with bub number 1 and again Feb of 2011 with bub number 2, my Dr gave no time frame for falling pregnant but required me to have a complete unfill when I did fall. My second is now 11 weeks old and I just had my first fill in over a year. I am still only 10 pound above my per pregnancy weight . Now to get to goal!
