Hey everyone just wonder how long you waited to get pregnant after being banded? I know my doctor says one year but just wondering if you waited? Thanks

I'm a bit curious myself; my doctor's office said I needed to wait at least 18 months but the nurse told me about one patient who was pregnant 1 month after banding (WAY too soon IMO). I think they're biggest concern is making sure #1 you're healed and #2 that if not at goal then close to it so you're not backtracking. There's a forum specifically for pregnancy with the band if you want more info...

I got pregnant 4 months after being banded. I am actually due about a week after my 1 year anniversary of getting my band.

I just had my band placed on 12/1/10- and the day of surgery they did a test that was negative -yesterday I took a test at work that came back positive- that means I was pregnant when I had the surgery done!!! I didnt know and I wasnt trying- I have been concentrating on losing weight - now I need to contact my surgeon/dietician to ask for their support!!_ I am scared because I was told to wait 18 months!!- I hadnt planned on having more children-but GOD does his magic- believe me it really does only take 1 time I guess- I feel like I am the only one this has ever happened too- if I would have waited 2 weeks more for the surgery-than I would have known I was pregnant and put it off until after-but- destiny had its own plan!!-Im scared but I will do my best!!_Crystal

I waited just about 8 months before we started trying to get pregnant..I say wait until your completely healed and then start trying..we tried for almost a year to get pregnant so I would hate for you to wait a year then try and end up waiting even longer to get pregnant..thats my suggestion..good luck :)

I had my surgery on August 2010. I got pregnant in November. I am now 9 weeks pregnant. I was not planning but it happened. So far all is good. I am glad that I have the band because it allows me to eat what I crave but also eat in moderation. As of today I lost 10lbs. :)!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
