I got my band in march 2010 fell pregnant in September 2010 unfortunatly lost it but then conceived again in may 2011 I now have a beautiful baby boy now 4 months old I had no issues with my band during pregnancy did not get unfilled my food intake was good, the weight I gained was all baby. I was never told not to fall pregnant with in the first 12 months I was just told when u lose a fair amount of weight ur fortilaty rate is higher, everyone is different u will know within urself when ur ready to conceive ur body will tell u, never give up....
