Re: Time For Me To Join--My Introduction

[Guest guest]

CONGRATULATIONS and WELCOME!!!!!!! I had my tubes *UN* tied 2.25.00.

We've conceived 3 times, but have sadly miscarried each time. They said it was

because of my weight and my age (I was only 37 & 38 at the time) I had WLS

2.13.04. I'm down to 134 now and hoping we can have at least one more child.

Blessings to you~

So, I had the WLS in Jul. 2002 and my tubes untied in Jan. 2004. After

seven months of TTC, I am finally pregnant.
