Advice?

[Lady Lap Band 71]

My husband and I are going to start trying to conceive in the next couple of months. I was hoping those who are pregnant or who have already had a baby after having the lapband would have any advice or comments for me? Anything you have to tell me would be so much appreciated! We're a little nervous! =)

I would love the same info! Thanks for starting this feed. We have been trying for over 15 years with no luck. I'm really hoping it's due to the PCOS which should subside with the weight loss. I've heard storeies of PCOSers getting prego just 3 months after the band was placed, but I've also heard a lot of people don't get prego for a few years. Not sure ig some are on birth control or the exact situation, but I'm looking forward to something happening. I am about a year out with 80lbs lost. We aren't really "trying", but we aren't "not trying" either, so we will see. I want to lose about another 30lbs and then I will really start trying!

Before my lap band I had such a screwed up cycle. Id go minths without it then suddenly have one for weeks on end.

It took my body about 8 months (60lbs down) after my band to straighten out. I started having a normal period at the same time each month and started ovulating.

I'm sure its diffrent for everyone but the weightloss by far helped me!!

I had PCOS. Got banded June 2009. Lost 40 and became unexpectedly pregnant in October 2009. So it resolved VERY quickly for me. I had hoped to get more weight off before getting pregnant!
