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.....

  • 4 weeks later...

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 didn't plan on prego but 1 year literally
