Question: Lap Band or Baby? ?
I am 33years old and i weigh 128kgs. I am really keen to have a baby soon and before i get too old but i have also been advised to get Lap Band surgery for my weight and health.
Which should i do first have a baby or get a Lap band?
Answer 1
Your weight sounds quite high as per your age, based on that your BMI will definitely be around 40, i.e. for long healthy life lap band surgery is required for you that you have already been advised for.
Whereas, you are thinking of baby that you can also have after lap band, being healthy is the most important thing. 12 months after surgery is the ideal time for getting pregnant although it is possible after 6 months though it is not considered worth from the view point of weight loss. Not having an ideal weight can lead to number of ailments, heart diseases, diabetes etc. Also, if you won’t be healthy how can you even think of giving birth to a healthy baby and obviously nobody will want to have a child that is sick and unhealthy right from his birth.
However, ultimate decision will be yours, hope you get into the right path.
