I'm very confused. You have only just been banded, when did you find out you were pregnant? Generally surgery won't go ahead if you are pregnant.

Are you pregnant now? Because the standard wait time is 18 months to 2 years before you should plan to get pregnant after ANY bariatric procedure. Otherwise you may have complications related to the restricted diet/nutrition required. Since you shouldn't be taking any estrogen based birthcontrol due to clotting risks for the first 4-6 weeks postop you will need to use secure forms of birthcontrol because weightloss will increase your fertility. No doctor should install this on someone who is pregnant.

I think we misunderstood you. I think you were saying, you're glad you can still get pregnant with a lapband,right? Not that you are pregnant.

I hope that you are saying you are happy that you can have more children someday. You should not have a pregnancy too soon after lapband, but that does not prevent you from the sex part. Just use good judgement on birth control. If BF wants kids, then tell him to marry their mother. Kids need a mother and a father in a stable family unit. IMHO

Also... fill out your profile so we can tell if you have been banded or not and when. If you are not yet banded and want more children, do that first, then look into band surgery in a couple of years.

      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. 🤞
