Default Hello loosers... I am new here

Hello all! I was so excited to come accross this site. I have recently started the process of considering WLS. My Dr. has approved me and my insurance is on board...so that is a true blessing. I am waiting an appointment with a surgeon. In the meantime, as you all can imagine, I am looking for as much information as I can possibly find. Be it on the procedure, life post op and anything else. Thank you all for your honesty on these boards it really is a blessing to people like myself.

I am a 34 yo mother on 2 wonderful boys aged 5, and 2. The Dr told me that 1-2 years post op a pregnancy could be considered. My husband and I would like to have another child but at this weight it is just too hard on me. We both agree that we may consider it if things worked the way the Dr indicated. Has anyone had this experience with wanting more children.

Thanks agian in advance. I look forward to your support and being a part of this journey with all of you. So far the surgoen told me that they are scheduling consultations in November and once I have that appt I am 6 weeks from a surgery date. After fighting this battle my ENTIRE life it seems surreal that would be the case...

Thanks all....

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Welcome - You will find lots of helpful information and many new friends. I have taken care to two ladies in labor who have had the surgery - they did wait about 2 years out before becoming pregnant.
