Hi, I have just discussed the lap band surgery with my primary doctor. To my surprise he told me he has been banded, so has his wife and sister and mother! He said I qualify as my bmi is 36. I am covered by my insurance but I have to call to check the requirement s. My dilema is this, I'm 40 next month. It took us 6 years to have a baby, we did several rounds of ivf. My weight was not a factor for my infertility. My son is now 15 months. We have frozen embryos which I want to use but I feel like my time to have a successful pregnancy is running out. Do I get a lap band, lose weight and try to get pregnant 12 months after? Or get pregnant in the next few months and revisit the lap band surgery after I have a baby. I only gained 14lbs while pregnant and lost it all within a few weeks. I'm so unhappy with myself with my current weight, it has been a source of severe depression and anxiety for decades. Ive basically been.on a diet since I was 8! I'm sure you can all relate. Thanks in advance for any replies and opinions on the pregnancy issues. Abbie
