Hello

I had my lap band almost 2 years ago. Start weight was 320 I weigh about 156 now. Definitely the hardest best thing I have ever done. Dr. Bobby did my surgery. He practices out of Palm Springs, California. I joined because I just found out I am having a baby and am very nervous and excited. This is my first and I never thought I would conceive...

    Congrats! Oh my how hearing your story give me hope. I considering the lap band as I have PCOS which make it hard for me to conceive. I'm 32yo and will be 33 this year and I do want to have a family one day. You stated that the lap band was the hardest and best thing you have ever done. If you don't mind me asking can you tell me what was so hard about the change/process for you?
