Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Hi everyone, I'm glad I found this group. I just had my lap-band put in Dec 29th. A little background, My husband and I tried 4.5 years to concieve, and finally did so after about 12,000 dollars. We had twins! They are now 15 months old. Well, we really didn't think we could get pregnant again without going through the infertility treatment. Lo and behold jsut three weeks after surgery, I came up pregnant. We really are estatic, but it does halt my weight loss. I was down about 35 pounds though, and I can eat just enough to get healthy stuff to the baby, but not enough to gain alot. Anyway, I'm sure I'll have alot of questions if anyone else is or has been in a similar situation Thanks! Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 congratulations on your pregnancy. I have had surprise babies too since they said I was infertile and needed fertility help and WHAM, I am going on #4 now with only one being a clomid and IUI baby, lol.... I think you will do just fine. There are several on other groups that I am on that have gotten prego early and do quite well. Just try to eat the best you can, get in your vitamins and also the prenatals and folic acid too and rest when you can. I have twins too so I remember that can be rough but try to nap when they are. you will like this group alot. it is very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
