Hi.

My name is Tara, I'm 24 (25 on 1/19!),and I have been wanting the band for about 2 years now. I have decided to go ahead with it in '07! Right now, I'm 33 weeks pregnant with my second kiddo and scheduled for a c-section on Jan 24th.

Obviously I have to wait until I have my baby to be banded! LOL!

I am going to be a self pay and haven't decided on a surgeon yet. I live in Texas so I have been going back and forth on the whole Mexico/US question. Money is a factor of course, but we'll see!

Nice to meet you all!

Hi Tara, best of luck to you with your new baby and the lapband.

Welcome to lapband talk Tara.

I was due to have my lapband in January 05 but discovered 1 week before I was due for surgery that I was 4 weeks pregnant...needless to say I had to delay my surgery until October 05...but the best thing was that I lost weight all through my pregnancy so that when I went in for banding I was already some 16kgs lighter!!!

Congrats on making a fantastic decision and on the pending arrival of your new bub. The best is yet to come believe me! Just think of all the extra chasing after your toddler you will be able to do once you have lost the weight. the fun begins.

Best wishes on your research on surgery and keep us posted aye?
