Happy to report to you all that I had my first baby! Its a girl. She was 9.9 pounds and 22 in long. I love love love her. I always wanted to be a mother and was terrified I would never get the chance due to my own body. I have PCOS and type 2 diabetic. I feel such relief and gratefulness and love. I became pregnant a month after being banded. I think it was being banded that allowed me to get pregnant. Well the entire process of being banded. The counseling, the change in diet, the rapid early weight loss. I also switched to soy, got lots of exercise, and prayed like crazy. Thank you to all who have shown me such love and support here. And now that my little girl is born healthy and safe its time to GET IN GEAR! Time to start following some of the old rules I've let slide for the last 9 months. Time to call my Dr and get a fill :smile2: and time to live healthy all around. I'm so ready for this!

    Awww Congratulations, I have PCOS and was told I most likely wouldn't have kids. I started exercising and lost weight when I was 24 and got pregnant with my son. Then I started taking Prenatal vitamins 4 years ago to boost my vitamins, they were all off, and ended up pregnant with my daughter. A healthier body makes a huge difference with pregnancy and PCOS, NOT ALL of the time but some of the tme.

    That is so inspirational! That is the main reason I had my surgery - I also have PCOS. You give me hope :)
