Dr. Champion, and pregnancy



Recommended Posts

Hi! I live in Georgia and have been referred by a friend to Dr. Champion. I talked to his office, and she told me that my insurance, BCBS of Illinois will cover the surgery, but I have to go through six months of a diet plan recorded by my doctor. So I am seeing my doctor tomorrow to start the six months. I hate that I have to wait that long, but maybe it is a good thing that I will have that long to really think about it and research. Honestly, I can't believe I am actually considering this. I never thought I would volunteer for any type of surgery, but I have to do something while I am young before I end up really bad off.

The thing is, my husband and I really want to have a baby. We would be trying now if it weren't for my resent decision to try the lap band. Dr. Champion says that I have to wait 18 months after the surgery before trying. This is okay with my husband and I, but deep down I still wonder if I should have a baby first and then have the surgery. Has anyone out there experienced the same dilemma, or does anyone have advice about pregnancy and lap band in general?

Also, has anyone had Dr. Champion or heard anything about him? For some reason there are no patient posts on his website forum.

Can't wait to be banded-I think.:)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
