There is a place on the website wfaa.com where you can put comments and it is kinda sad but people just don't understand wls I think I will direct them to this forum.

Wow Brittany! What a great story, my husband and I had been trying to conceive, and stopped since I'm (hopefully!) going to be having surgery. I'm really hoping to get myself healthy so that we can begin a family.

Your daughter is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations to you, and kudos to helping get the word out! I think a lot of people don't realize that obesity does inhibit fertility.

Enjoy your family, and take good care.

That is really awesome!

I have not begun to start a family but will be getting married soon. I really want to be healthy for when I have children - I told my PCP that that is one of my primary motivations to have the surgery, and the fact that it could help me conceive is even better!

Thanks for sharing and congrats! She looked like a baby doll lying in her crib!

I hope it helps those of you who wanted to start a family and couldn't. I understand the heart break in infertility. Good Luck!

And secondly....congratulations on your beautiful baby! What an awesome gift from god. I'm so happy for you and your family. Seems like WLS not only gave you your life back but also helped to bring one into the world!

And just like many others on here....the story brought tears to my eyes.

CONGRATULATIONS!
