Hello,

My name is Lillie. I have been a member for about eight months. I was banded in February and I have lost 80 lbs. My husband and I want to start having kids really soon. Does anyone have any views or experience on this? I want to get pregnant maybe by the end of the year. Is this good or not? I have talked to my doctor, but would like to hear first hand experience if possible. Thanks!!

I am not banded just getting started but my dr said to wait at least a year so I think your goal in fall is good. you will be well over a year. He said other than that there should be no problems. Jill

I waited about a year and a half before getting pregnant. Everything went great in the pregnancy!

My surgeon said I could start trying as soon as I was healed from surgery if I wanted to. LOL But she said that if I wanted to lose some weight beforehand, that a one year goal was a good one to shoot for.

Best of luck to you, and congratulations on your spectacular weightloss!!!

Thanks so much for your input. We hope to be pregnant by Christmas. That would be a wonderul gift!!

Well Lillie...Christmas is just around the corner...you two better get crackin!!! :-)

We already are
