I'm Gonna Do IT!!!!!!!

I think that I am going to go for it. I talked to my husband about it, and he said "If that's what you want to do, go for it." (Not that I needed his approval or anything).

I still have some fears, but hopefully those will fade over time. I have been thinking so much about it since my last post. I thought about it so much, not just the surgery itself, but the fact that there is a foreign body inside of me, that once I made myself sick to my stomach!! HA HA HA

My mom says that I am obsessing over it too much and to relax. I still have some what ifs, but when I talk to the right doctor, he/she may be able to tame them.

I just hope that I am making the right decision. I weigh somewhere around 245. I am 5'6". When I look in the mirror I see a person that I used to never be.

I just have one problem. My husband is getting a vasectomy reversal in March. I want one more baby. I only have one now. I know I will gain some weight. I wanted to loose some before I got pregnant (if it will work).

Has anyone had lap band then got pregnant? Can they remove it, then put it back on? Is there a danger each time they do it?

Just wondering, and what better place to wonder that a board filled with experts in my eyes.

Heather, we're certainly not experts! Just goofy, every day overweight people that have gotten a chance to live healthier and happier. I don't think the band will bother you any physically. I can feel the port when I stand up and rub it, but other than that, I'm not even aware of it. I like to think of it as my little lifeline - helping me live better and longer. I guess it's a little like someone having a hip or knee replacement. That's a foreign object but the good of it outweighs that. My husband had open heart surgery a few years ago. In his x-ray, you can see the metal wire that they laced his rib cage back together with. It will always be there, and was part of his healing process.:D

Wow how did you get your husband to agree to the vasectomey, vasectomey reversal and the band??? He's a definate keeper. I got my husband to agree to the vasectomy and the band, he wouldn't go for the reversal. I guess 2 out of 3 isn't too bad! Good luck.
