I need to do this for me! I've been trying for years to get pregnant and it was so easy with my first when I was a size 12. I can't be the Lapband posterchild. I know I love the youtube videos but I can't devote that kind of time for everyone to be on this journey with me. This was a decision I made before I had surgery. As for people who ask. Im doing what I need to do to get pregnant with pcos.

I too did this so I could have children.... we have been trying for 5 yrs and I got the baby blues so Im hoping next year is our year!

Its everyones choice on what they do but I know that I will tell the world if they let me!!! I kept it quiet until I knew for sure that I was going to do it then once I knew it was for me, I told everybody!! lol... I look at it this way... People judge me for being fat so why wouldnt I want to let them know that Im doing something to get myself in shape?? If they have a problem with it then thats their fault! I used to think that getting the lapband was the "easy" way! Boy was I WRONG!!!! You still have to work at it. My husband and I got it done the same day so that is a huge help! My advise.... Who cares what people think.... we have to live for us not them!!! They look at me when im fat so I hope they look when Im looking fine in my skinny jeans!!! lol Good luck with your journey!!

I just turned 30! Way to go on the weight loss.... I was banded sept 2011 and I have lost 70. In about a year hopefully I will be ready to have children.... Im ready now but my body isnt! lol

I am feeling the same way. It is really hard. I try to stay positive but you cant help but have those days where you just want to cry. I just turned 30 and my husband is 32 so my clock is ticking!! He says he will love me whether we have a child or not but I know how much he wants to be a daddy and it kills me that I cant give that to him yet. Keeping my hopes high and trusting in the lord though!

• If they care about the band that much to not date you then they arent the right people for you! Its not like its a disease or something! So what if you can teat certain things or eat alot....they should be happy! The less you eat...the cheaper the food bill when you go out! lol I say tell him and if he doesnt like it then you know it was not meant to be!
  

Yes it does... it feels like I have Water sitting in it. It usually happens when im at work or in the evenings when I get off work!

I was banded in Sept 2011 and I have lost 64 lbs. I am at a stand still right now. I have a 14cc band and I am at 10 cc now. I have restriction(some) but I just am not losing. I am getting very frustrated. My Dr put me on adipex to see if I can get jump started again. I really hope this works because I like the feeling of losing but just not getting the results I wanted. Also it makes me feel like crap when family members say " Well I know someone else who had the lapband and the weight just fell off them, why arent you losing?" Makes me feel like im not doing good enough!

Anyone else having a problem?
