My future babies

[roodboi 0]

I'm glad someone wrote about this. I'm actually dying to have kids. I just turned 30 and I've been waiting for things to fall into place (get a job, get a house, lose weight) b4 i have kids. But here I am at 30 and none of that has happened for me. I was like forget it, i just want a baby. So I went to my endo (i have pcos) he said he would rather me weigh less but it wasn't impossible to have a baby at my weight. but i told him i was starting to contemplate WLS. The lap band to be exact. He was super duper supportive. He thought it would be the best thing for me and he rooted for me to get it. However he told me I should get gastric bypass and not the sleeve. I was NOT cool with that. Then he said you know what you should get actually, the new one, whats it called, the sleeve. And I didn't really do research on it so I was like no. lol. But now that i've looked into it I'm dead set on the sleeve.

But he told me he has a patient who had bypass and is pregnant now and she's doing just great! Also I spoke to a girl on OH that is pregnant now after she got her sleeve. I'm so anxious to get the sleeve so i can loose weight and have kids already! I want 2 or 3 kids. I wanted more but realistically i don't know if it will happen because i wanted to space them 3-4 years apart and i'm already 30. not to mention by the time i get the sleeve and get to the point where doctors say its ok to have kids i'll probably 32 or 33. way later than i wanted to have kids. i feel like right now i'm running out of time. i want babies! lol.

omg i'm sooooo happy for you!!! good luck!! yea it sounds like we're in very similar boats. and what you said "maybe god made me wait this long for a reason" really hit home with me. wow. they say he has a plan and everything happens for a reason. this was all meant to be. we're going to be able to deal with motherhood way better when we're healthy. i'm sooo excited for you! hopefully i'll be a month or so behind :thumbup1: please please let me know how everything goes. lets keep in touch! i will probably have lots of questions for you!
