Being banded after baby

[thatswhatdefinesme 0]

Okay, so I have decided to have the Lap Band surgery and I was hoping that it could take place next month, since I'm a self pay patient the process should go a little quicker. Well, now there's a possibility that I could be pregnant (I'm a couple days late and my period is usually like clock work). If I'm pregnant (it would be our first baby) how soon after do you think I could be banded? Does anyone have any knowledge on this topic? I'm sorry if I sound a bit disappointed, its not that I don't want to have a child but I've been really excited about the opportunity to be banded. I really wanted to lose all the weight before I became pregnant, that way there wouldn't be as many health risks.

I had mine placed 8 weeks after having my c section. I haven't had any problems with it. It is probably the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was self pay and went to Dr Ortiz in Mexico. He is great!

Okay, well it's not very obvious that I'm not pregnant. Thank goodness for that. I'm so excited yet overwhelmed with this whole process and I think that it messed with my cycle. I'm happy to say that I'm being banded on 7/7/2009!
