I have a swallow this week. He doesn't think it's a slip since I have had no problems before or since. I'm following the rules and no issues. But we will see how the swallow goes.

I got the band at 34 and had my first baby at 36. I would have had a very hard time if I didnt lose the weight first. Gestational diabetes was not something I wanted to deal with on top of high bp and and a bunch of other issues I had pre band. I had absolutely no issues during my pregnancy and had a normal vaginal delivery. My son and I were both healthy and pre band I dont know if we would have been. I couldnt get pregnant for 17 years pre band. The 18 months I waited after surgery was worth it. I plan on trying again next year and will be 38 before the next one. I believe its better to be a healthy older mom instead of an unhealthy only a year younger mom.
Good luck.

Dont over buy yet. I found there were things I couldnt stand the taste of post band. I couldnt do broth after. I did SF all fruit popcicles and apple sauce. Find a good Protein. I like the ones from dietdirect.com. Along with the protein fruit ones like the raspberry lemon-aid. Right after surgery have gas-x strips or pills. The gas was by far the worse pain associated with the band. Its a lot of trial by error. I would grab a few thing but not too much. You should be out of the house and walking around a day or 2 after so use a trip to the store as exercise. Good luck!! Best decision I ever made!!

The joy of BC. I quit taking BC Thanksgiving Day 2011 because I was not losing anything.I hadnt lost 1 lb for months I felt bloated ALL the time and my breasts were constantly sore ans swollen, Be extremely careful. I got pregnant the very next week after stopping!!

My doctor says to wait a year. My husband and I have been trying since 2010. I am 31 and my husband is 34. We tried fertility treatments 2011- early 2012. After several tests and doctor visits and cash we still don't have children. When this lap band procedure fell in my lap I could not pass it up as this may be what we need to succeed. Maybe it's a sign saying "Noooo don't do it!" LOL But we both love kids. We know it will happen in Gods time.

I was 13 months post-op when I got pregnant with my son. We tried for 17 years before I was banded and lost 70+ lbs before I got pregnant.

I got the band at 34 and had my first baby at 36. I would have had a very hard time if I didnt lose the weight first. Gestational diabetes was not something I wanted to deal with on top of high bp and and a bunch of other issues I had pre band.

There is a thread in here somewhere. But YES you can. Doesnt mean everyone will but it does happen. I was diagnosed with it years ago and tried for 17 years to get pregnant. You can tell by my signature I am 35 healthy weeks into my first pregnancy. Without the band I dont think I would EVER have gotten pregnant! It is very very possible.

I dont know why a lot of Dr's say you may have to have a c-section. I dont think we bandseters are at any different risk if we have healthy pregnancies. I understand some have to but not all. I had a fantastic labor and delivery. Not one time during my entire pregnancy did I have complications from the band. I mean in my last month I couldnt eat much but I had a 9lb baby taking up the room. I lost all the baby weight within 2 weeks and now 5 weeks postpartum I am down an additional 10lbs. The beauty of breastfeeding.

Sept 1st we welcomed our first baby and a lapband baby!! Without the band, my little sweet man would not be here! The band is the only reason that after 17 years, I was able to get pregnant.
Anyone who needs encouragement, the band is worth it and with time fertility can be returned. It has been a very emotional 17 years and I am so excited that I am healthy enough to have given birth to a beautiful baby boy.

I ate whatever I wanted. I did try to eat healthy but my son made me crave beef and I didnt eat red meat for several years before getting pregnant. I did drink juice every day, not a lot of carbs but meat was a must. Eat several times a times a day and later in your third tri eating smaller meals will keep the heart burn at a minimum. I didnt have heartburn until the last month and no morning sickness. Just try to eat balanced and good food. You cant really do wrong if you just try to eat healthy.
Good luck!! Oh, and my son is 13 days old and I am 3lbs below my pre pregnancy weight which is the lowest Ive been!!

I had the pox 3 times. As a kid they werent really bad. I got them again about 19. Only about 6 spots showed up. And again when I was about 23. No spots then but confirmed with a blood test.I felt run down but not really flu like. I lived in different parts of the country each time and it must have been a different strain. Have been exposed several times since 23 and never did get them again. Hopefully never again.
