Another Newbie...
Hello All,
It's been a while since I have been on OH.
I had my GBS 6/04. My starting weight was 355 and I lost 155 lbs in 18 mos.
After my 2yr, I decided to have a baby and after 6mos of trying, I had to go on fertility drugs to conceive.
I now have a beautiful
10 mo old baby boy. I would love to have another, however, I gained 80lbs
with the fertility drugs and a difficult pregnancy.
I am currently 42, and the clock is ticking against me.
I do not have time to lose the weight before having another baby due to the risks associated with the GBS and my age. I know that I will need to go on fertility drugs again, and I just do not want to gain anymore weight. 
I just talked to my surgeon yesterday and he told me that I can have a revision after I complete a second pregnancy. He recommends the Rose procedure.
My question to anyone out there; Is there anyone with a similar cir****tance? I just want to find out what you did and how you are doing.
As much as I REALLY want another baby,
I just can't stand to gain another pound and gaining back all of the weight that I lost. I would love to go for the revision now. I have to make up my mind quickly, due to the fact if I decide to go with revision, I have to plead to my employer to change my insurance elections due to the fact I go to a HMO in 2009 and it will not cover the surgery with my surgeon.
Please share your thoughts!

Congrats on your new baby 
!!!
Although I know little about your surgical needs, I will say to consult your "Higher" being and ask for guidance in your decision. I know that both can be risky, but not impossible. Good luck with your decision.
