Coming out of hiding!

Hey ladies! I've been a lurker on this board for a while and have watched all the stories and find myself thinking about each of you as you go on your journey to becoming mothers and cheering you all on as I read your posts. Being able to have children was one of the main reasons for having WLS. The 26Th marks a year and I had my 1 yr appointment with my surgeon on Wed. and he's given me the OK to start TTC once I'm a year out! I've exceeded his expected weight loss for this time frame and my weight loss is stable. The last few months I've been taking extra measures to get myself and my body ready. My OB and I had a long discussion about my goals and he put me on extra folic acid and is fully able to handle a post op pregnancy(it helps that he's literally next door to my surgeon), I've been weaned off of medication that's not safe to take while pregnant and that's going good, a little nerve wracking but DH is still alive so all is good, lol I bought some OP Ks from amazon and wanted to see if I was even ovulating. My body was showing signs every months so I took an OPK Monday and Tuesday and both days were positive so that gives me hope!
I look forward to someday soon sharing good news with all of you! This is an awesome board and I've learned SO much from you all!
