I got pregnant 4 months post op, unfortuntely I lost the baby at 11 weeks. I'm currently 8 months post op and we are going to start TTC this cycle.

The reason some doctors make you sign a paper saying you won't TTC for a year is to not mess up their stats. With most doctors being "centers for excellence" amongst other things, the patients are followed and progress is monitored. Getting pregnant would mess up their statistics.

I had irregular periods for my whole like and right after being banded, started a regular cycle. I asked and the doctor said that YES it can play with your hormones.

I had my surgery in June of 2011 and had my one and only May 2012. Ill let you do the math.....

I was told 18 months; I think it was about 2 years to the day when I found out I was pregnant (miscarried but got pregnant again in Feb and am currently 5 months along) :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
