sweetie__13 99 Posted December 2, 2012 Ok. I'm in a Rock and a hard place. I have the chance to get banded and try for a baby. Has anyone went ahead and got the lapband and then got pregnant right away? How did that work out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted December 2, 2012 I have no first hand knowledge....I am past that time of my life... However i would discuss it with your dr because losing weight pre baby would be a good thing but on the other hand how would the band complicate the pregnancy ? I am sure you will hear from bandsters with this experience but I would discuss it with your obgyn as well as you bariatric surgeon so you can make an educated choice. Congrats for looking for answers. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goalseeker 695 Posted December 5, 2012 I'm not sure how pregnancy is affected by the band but my surgeon made me sign a waiver saying I was not going to be trying to get pregnant for two years (I think it was 2 yrs). Luckily I am already done having kiddos. Good luck. I definitely suggest discussing it with your doctor. There is a pregnancy thread to look into as well on here.

kriscakes7 34 Posted December 5, 2012 My surgeon said to go ahead and get the band and that I could just keep losing during pregnancy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mara005 70 Posted December 5, 2012 Mine said it didn't matter when I got pregnant, but tell them and they will remove the Fluid when needed. I'm only 2 months out but we are hoping to start trying in May so I will be 8 months out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
