I'm not ttc but does anyone have hypothyroidism(low thyroid) or know anyone that has it with the band, and was able to conceive after the band was in?

Thanks for sharing ladies. Were u able to get pregnant before the band? And how long were u trying for? Because I know it causes infertility that and being overweight is not a good mix.

I didnt try before the band..I was banded in 09...I was down to 250 before thyroid issues and was about 268 when I got pregnant. It took me no time at all. I got off birth control and was pregnant in two weeks. Although being over weight is suppose to cause fertility issues...but I have many friends some 300 plus pounds that have three or four kids and never an issue. I think it really depends on the person

Yes, I have it as well..I had trouble having my 1st child but I think it was due to be just being so overweight at the time..once I lost 40 lbs and starting taking my thyroid meds I got pregnant the 2nd time much quicker..and I just had my 3rd baby. So it is definatley possible and I think much easier to get pregnant just by losing a bit of weight. Worked for me thank goodness!! Good luck.

I went through multiple cycles of IVF and none were successful. I was banded may 09 and was down to 152 pounds when we decided to start trying. My ob gave me the all clear and all my fertility labs were now normal. I had been on thyroid meds since 06. It took me 4 months of trying. I had to have my thyroid checked monthly while pregnant and saw a high risk doctor the whole time as well (which was great because I go a sono every month, and every week starting at 34 weeks)

Yes, I have hypothyroidism and have the band and just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I did experience a year of unexplained infertility and worked with a fertility specialist this time around, but it was well worth it!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
