Hi there....my husband and I ttc for 3 years prior to me getting lap band. We went to a fertility specialist and he said nothing was wrong with either one of us but if I could get some weight off it would help. I started at 253 lbs and within a year I lost 110 lbs which honestly was amazing! The lap band dr told me if I had the surgery then we would need to wait at least a years before trying again. I was ok with that because even though we want children bad and have been together 11 years (married 6yrs) we figured if it's better all around for my health and for children than its worth it! I hit a yr post surgery November 2011 and due to switching insurance we waited to start trying again until January 2012. We had no success on our own so we did an IUI (which was actually my second...did one pre surgery) an no success. We have been seeing a different specialist in Denver Colorado and he said the most IuI he recommends is 3 because your chances actually go down each time you do it. So we opted to try IVF! The dr is very positive of this working because again (second opinion) neither one of us had any issues. I am now at normal weight (sounds weird to say) and we are in the middle of the process. I have egg Retreival done July 2nd and then transfer done July 5th or 7th! Very excited!!!!
So that's my long story but I think what's one more year of waiting for babies if it means your and the baby health! I say go to the class see what you think and make a decision that works for you and your husband :-) I am here if you have any more questions...just stay positive and know that everyone is different and you have a different path than the rest of us do choose what makes since in your life Good Luck!
