Stephanie* My insurance required a lot of different phases to prepare me to be mentally and physical ready before approval for surgery. The counselling helped me so much to realize how I was using my fat to hold me back. The biggest inspiration to finally make a positive change in my life is that my husband and I want a baby. We tried to get pregnant and failed. And with honest discussions with my doctor I realized it is my weight that is keeping me from reaching that dream. It is kind of scary to start a new life, but even more exciting to know I am getting closer to fulfilling my dreams.

SkinnyJill* You only have a few more days before your surgery date. Good Luck to you.

Glad to hear one of my band-day buddies is doing well! Hope the pain and itching go away soon.

Thanks Stephanie. Nice to hear you are doing well too. Congratulations!:clap2:

Hi Stephanie and congratulations. We are surgery date sisters. I am glad that everything went well for you. I can relate to what you are talking about in regards to losing the fat protection. I know I have used mine to keep people at a distance. As part of the approval for surgery I had to receive counselling and will continue to do so because it is what I need.

I'm a little scared about the new life that awaits me but I am ready for all the happiness I know also awaits.

Good Luck to us all on our new journey in life.

Hi Everyone

Yesterday was my surgery date. Only problem is a little shoulder pain and some itching from the pain meds.

I want to thank everyone for sharing their stories because they helped me so much to be prepared and not so scared.

You should be excited. I know more than I care to know about PCOS and it is hard for a lot of women with PCOS to get pregnant. But from what my doctor has said that fertility rates among women with weight loss surgery increases alot even for us women with PCOS.

Most women with PCOS do not ovulate, or have irregular cycles which can cause infertility. And you are proof positive that the surgery helps increase fertility. That is wonderful news to my ears. Thank you and all you wondeful mommies for sharing your stories. You give me so much hope for a baby.

Good luck to you.

Welcome! There is lots of good information on this site.

I will be so surprise when I finally get a positive pregnancy test I will probably faint. It gives me a lot of hope to hear your story that you got pregnant even though you have PCOS, after being banded.

It is nice to read all of the pregnancy after banded stories they are inspirational.

Hi Bunny nice to have you join us.
