A pregnancy pic to make me thankful for the band.......

Aug 08, 2009

For any of you considering the band who want to have children, or who want to be able to conceive children, and if you are having doubts as to whether or not to baby first or band first..........BAND first.  Above is a pic of me and my DD during  my second trimester at  Glen Helen.  It put so much a stress on my body that day in 2007 that my cervix was throbbing and aching and I thought I was going to die or go into way premature labor.  I was restricted further on exercise and activity after that trip that day.  By the end of the pregnancy with my son, I was off work the last 6 weeks because my son and my organs could not coexist with my fat.  His head due to my abdominal cavity being full of fat, was wedged into my diaphragm and cut off my air supply making me blackout and lose my breath.  It was very dangerous.  He was born September 07 and I tried to "give it another try" on my own although I was already considering WLS and had just prior to getting pregnant with him in Dec 06.  By April 08 I had done my research and was ready to get the band.  I considered the DS after the seminar; for me it was either least invasive or best guarantee.  I went for least invasive, quickest recovery.  I am so thankful for WLS.
