Hi everyone.

I was banded on 29th May this year and have lost 20kgs.

Look forward to chatting with you all.

Hello Bec,

I just joined recently (today). I was banded on 10/15 and I am also working towards a baby. My husband and I tried In Utran Insemination 3 times and it did not work. My fertility Dr. did not set a specific BMI goal but said losing weight would really help so...I got banded. I was told I could not get pregnant for one year after being banded so my goal is to make the most of this year so I can start trying for a baby again. Good luck!

Welcome back Bec and welcome Brooke! Congrats on trying to have a little one! I have 3 girls who are nearly grown. They grow up way too fast. Enjoy this time with DH. Soon you'll be preg. I know of another bandster with a similar story and she did get preg after losing the weight. Best wishes to both of you!

Thanks everyone.

Brookelynn the specialist has told me that I can go back to him when I am 116kg or 255lbs but I have decided that I need to be at least 98kg or 215lbs, that is something I need to do to give myself the best possible chance. DH and I have been trying for 12yrs and I hjave to do all I can.

Good luck with everything and I look forward to chatting with you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
