Hi! I didn't have lapband but did have gastric bypass surgery 4+ years ago with good results. There are some cysters here who've been banded and I'm sure they will chime in soon but the mostly post on the buddies forum under the WLS Divas thread. One thing I do know is that weight loss with the lapband is slower than with the RNY (which I had) so at the 1 year mark when you'll ok to start ttc you may still have a signifigant amount of weight still to loose. I'm currently pregnant with my 2nd post op baby and everything is going great. I'm due for a scheduled c-section (due to a previous c-section) in 7 weeks.
Anyway not that I'm knocking the lapband (I think it's still an awesome tool) but I'm just curious why you're leaning towards the band instead of any of the other WLS procedures (RNY, VSG or DS). Just curious...
Anyway if you have RNY questions I'd be happy to answer them & I'm sure that other WLSers will post to you soon.
Kristy
