I have been reading up on the lap band surgery but afraid that it's going to impact my chances of ever having children. I recently submitted an inquiry about the surgery to the local clinic and sure the doctor will let me know during my consultation, but I am too impatient to find out from him.

Please Help

The lap band has not affects on you having a baby. They will just remove fluid while you are preganant so you can eat and if your are breastfeeding they wont put it back in until you are done. Thats all.

Hi Fluffy and thanks for responding. Now I have another question; what do you mean by fluids?

When you are banded you get fills with saline that is where the port is. In order to make you stomach restricted you have to get fills. They place aport in the muscle and when you need a fill they put saline in the band to make it tighter. When your pregnant they remove it so you can eat normally
