I have an apple shape so my weight is on my belly which according to my doctor has caused my to have PCOS. One of the reason I want to have the lap band is to become fertile. My husband and I both want children. I so am looking forward to becoming a Dance and Pagent mom! Are there any other women on here having the lap band or has had it for this reason?

Keep in mind the band is removeable not reversible. It's meant to be permanent.

Also, it can definitely help with getting pregnant! I'm proof of that too

I got the band in June of 2012, got pregnant in August 2013, and an due in June 2014. Almost two years to the day! we had 8 failed fertility treatments before I got my band. It took one year for me to have regular cycles (I didn't even realize they were regular so I was shocked when I found out I was pregnant). Best decision of my life!

Your story is basically identical to mine! Banded May 2011, surprise baby in Sept 2012 (also didn't know my cycles had regulated), and had him May 2013!! No issues at all

That's neat we have similar stories! How has your post baby weight loss been? I've put on more than I wanted to with my little man but I'm not letting it stress me out. I'll work my butt off again after with a little new motivation in tow!

Oh my terrible lol. I gained 60 lbs and im only down 10! I haven't been trying super hard but I am getting my 2nd fill next week and trying to get more motivated with my eating and food choices! I'm not stressing either right now but I'm ready to get back into onederland.
