Hi, I have a gastric band. Had it since 2007 lost 6 stone/84lb in the first 5 months then I hit problem after problem I've had two lots of corrective surgery and I'm back to where I started weight wise, I have Ben offered a by pass and want to go for it but I'm frightened as I haven't had any children and want them desperately, I'm 33 years old with pcos, anyone else had children after ROY?

From what I've heard it's easier to get pregnant after the surgery.

I agree. Easier after the surgery once weight is lost. I had one unexpectedly after 2 yrs post op.

Did you gain weight?

Did you suffer with Vitamin absorption or not getting enough calories for the baby? What was the pregnancy like? Was it a gastric bypass you had? Sorry for all the questions :-)

You can find out a lot of info and talk to women who have gotten pregnant post-op on the obesity help website under the post op pregnacy forum.
