How long was it after surgery that you got pregnant? Just wondering.

Also I know most surgeons say wait 12-24 months to get pregnant (mine said the same plan on waiting out the 12) , but I've seen a couple that said no reason to stop TTC

I had revision surgery (due to broken band- not my fault) in 10/09 and got preggers in 5/10. My original surgery was 1/08. I had lost a total of about 120lbs when I got knocked up. It was unplanned but welcome! I did gain all my weight back and am back working it all off again. 72lbs down, baby is 16 mos old.

Oh how handsome is he!

I was 7 months post op. I'm now 14 weeks and 4days!!! I had 3 cc remove when I found out. I still have 3.9 in. I lost 60#'s after surgery.

Awesome! How long were you guys told to wait?

I waited till 2 years to start trying, per my doctors advice and wanting to lose as much as I could. I got pregnant on the 4th cycle. I can't believe she will be 2 weeks old tomorrow!!

Was banded 10/10, stopped BC on 11/20/11, got pregnant 11/30/11!! Thats after trying 17 years pre-op!!

I got my band in march 2010 fell pregnant in September 2010 unfortunatly lost it but then conceived again in may 2011 I now have a beautiful baby boy now 4 months old I had no issues with my band during pregnancy did not get unfilled my food intake was good, the weight I gained was all baby. I was never told not to fall pregnant with in the first 12 months I was just told when u lose a fair amount of weight ur fortilaty rate is higher, everyone is different u will know within urself when ur ready to conceive ur body will tell u, never give up....

Ummm....sometimes some of us get pregnant even when we are not trying! Sooo glad though!
