Hi everyone.

I joined this site in June last year and have come across the site again.

I was banded on 29th May this year and have lost 20kgs.

Look forward to chatting with you all.

Hello Bec,

I just joined recently (today). I was banded on 10/15 and I am also working towards a baby. My husband and I tried In Utran Insemination 3 times and it did not work. My fertility Dr. did not set a specific BMI goal but said losing weight would really help so...I got banded. I was told I could not get pregnant for one year after being banded so my goal is to make the most of this year so I can start trying for a baby again. Good luck!

Welcome back Bec and welcome Brooke! Congrats on trying to have a little one! I have 3 girls who are nearly grown. They grow up way too fast. Enjoy this time with DH. Soon you'll be preg. I know of another bandster with a similar story and she did get preg after losing the weight. Best wishes to both of you!

Thanks everyone.

Brookelynn the specialist has told me that I can go back to him when I am 116kg or 255lbs but I have decided that I need to be at least 98kg or 215lbs, that is something I need to do to give myself the best possible chance. DH and I have been trying for 12yrs and I hjave to do all I can.

Good luck with everything and I look forward to chatting with you.
