Hi. I am new to this site. I desperately want to have a second baby but am 133kg (was up to 145kg I think) but struggling with weight loss. I am taking zanical. I had complications with my first pregnancy. Emergency ceasar at 34 weeks as fetus was in severe distress and small for term. He spent 3 weeks in ICU and he was very hard work for first 3-6 months due to prematurity issues. I think work stress may have contributed but no way to know 100%. I Was 117kg when I fell pregnant with him so my thinking is I need to get down to at least that before I start trying to conceive this time around. Have added pressure from hubby as he wants kids close in age (my son is now 3) and I am 33 and don't want to delay trying for too much longer in case I have fertility problems (have very irregular periods and still think first pregnancy was a fluke). I am considering lap band surgery but don't want to wait a whole year before trying to fall pregnant. I understand that the first three months or so would be a no so I could heal from surgery and my thinking is if I fall pregnant soon after that and weight loss too rapid I could get volume decreased? What are your thoughts. Anyone fell pregnant in under a year post op? Thanks.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
