I have a friend that was banded in TX in Feb - March timeframe. She doesn't have a support system so I figured I'll ask the question for her. She was recently banded and just found out that she was pregnant. What are the dangers or complications of getting pregnant before 18 months of being banded? I'm not sure of the type of band she has or if mine is the same as hers, since she was banded in TX. I was told with the band I have I should to wait 18 month before conceiving, but it's only been 3 or 4 months for her. She went in to have her second fill last week. Please provide any insight. I want to share any advice I can with her. She's pregnant with her third child so she thinking about an abortion. I'm trying my best to prevent that. Please share any information you have on being newly banded and pregnant.
Thanks,
Sha
