Ok. I'm in a Rock and a hard place. I have the chance to get banded and try for a baby. Has anyone went ahead and got the lapband and then got pregnant right away? How did that work out?

I have no first hand knowledge....I am past that time of my life... However i would discuss it with your dr because losing weight pre baby would be a good thing but on the other hand how would the band complicate the pregnancy ? I am sure you will hear from bandsters with this experience but I would discuss it with your obgyn as well as you bariatric surgeon so you can make an educated choice. Congrats for looking for answers.

Good luck

Thank u! :-). I think it is the best thing to do. I don't want to get myself into something I can't get out of

I am still researching getting the band. And getting pregnant is one of the reasons that i am on this weight loss journey. Please let me know how it goes with ur dr advice.

I sure will

I'm not sure how pregnancy is affected by the band but my surgeon made me sign a waiver saying I was not going to be trying to get pregnant for two years (I think it was 2 yrs). Luckily I am already done having kiddos. Good luck. I definitely suggest discussing it with your doctor. There is a pregnancy thread to look into as well on here.

My surgeon said to go ahead and get the band and that I could just keep losing during pregnancy.

Wow your docs supportive. Going to try and hint to my doc and see what he says thanks

Mine said it didn't matter when I got pregnant, but tell them and they will remove the fluid when needed. I'm only 2 months out but we are hoping to start trying in May so I will be 8 months out.

My doctor said not to try to get pregnant for at least a year after surgery
