contemplating

Hi all, I am in the early stages of contemplating lap band surgery. I guess I have been in denial for a few years now. But after seeing a few photos and a video, realized that I was just kidding myself. I had a child one year ago and will try for a second in the mid to later part of next year (I had in-vitro fertilzation with first pregnancy) From what i hear you can have the lap band released when/if you become pregnant. It would be wonderful if someone reading this could give me their first hand opinion on pregnancy post lapband. Also, does anyone know how much of the surgery united healthcare will pay? Additionally what was your actual out of pocket expense. I will attend a seminar next month and will probably get this information, but I am eager to find out as much as I can ASAP. thank you and God bless...becky
