Congrats! And if we all waited for "the right time" to have a baby. There would be very few babies born! Somehow it always works out in the end.

Good Luck and keep us updated!

Congratulations on your wonderful news. I have a friend who just had a baby 2 months ago and she had the GBP and she did wonderful with her pregnancy. She had to do some little extra tests (such as sugar tests, etc.) but she said the best part was the prenatal vitamins because they helped with her hair & nails come in thicker (because of the hair loss with GBP) She didn't gain all her weight back and she is losing it just as quickly and healthy. Good Luck on your journey and God Bless You, Your Fiancee and Your New Baby!!!

Congrats. Enjoy this experience to the fullest. Every expectant mommy experiences that scared feeling - whether its the first one or many babies down the line

There have been others before you who the stork has visited since their surgery. I know of a few - one just two months out.

They all kept in close contact with both the baby dr and GBP /lap band dr. And shared even the "this is too silly to ask/question" with both for not all baby drs know much about GBP/lap band. One girl I know was lucky enough for her baby dr was a GBP recipient herself. And definitely listen to your nutrition specialist too.

Keep us posted. Have you decided on names yet? It took my son and daughter-in-law had their names picked 2 days after doing the home preg test. Our bundle of joy is due in March.

Congrats on the baby! I was talking to my nurse a few weeks ago and 2 ladys in my program got pregnant 3 months out and everything went smooth. You will be just fine!

Congrats, I am so happy for you and your family. I work with a nurse that is about 2 months pregnant and she just had to have most of her fluid taken out of her band so that she could maintain a healthy diet, I don't know what procedure you have had but I am sure you will do just fine. May God bless you and your family during this exciting time.

Dreamer, we have picked names also. if we have a girl she will be Olivia Ruth and if we have a boy he will be Isaiah Timothy.

After seeing my ob/gyn yesterday I'm no longer afraid of gaining a bunch of weight. He basically told me that I have to stop losing weight and actually work to maintain my weight while I'm pregnant and then I can continue losing weight after the baby is born. My sister had the surgery and was pregnant 6 months after and she said that it's really hard to maintain and not lose, she lost 35 lbs through her pregnancy.

Thanks so much for the encouraging words. I'm really very excited about this journey.

Congrats and I will really be keeping an eye on the mommies to be cause maybe a big maybe one day I would like another child and I want to see how we do being post op I am so happy for you two
