Just like the title says, I was banded in November and got pregnant in December. Much to my surprise. I didn't think that I would be able to have children without fertility treatments of some type. I was diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome about 10 years ago. We were between birth control methods because the pills I was on were raising my blood pressure. So I'm scared and happy. I've only had one fill, lost about 46pounds, and can eat about 2cups at a time of anything I want. I am still loosing weight but slowly. Only about a half pound a week. I'm sure my dr will want to remove all of my fill. Its fine, I trust him. I'm going to work hard to be as healthy as possible for me and my little baby. Crazy what life can give you :smile: So far no vomiting :thumbup:

Congrats... a child is a blessing!!!

YOu will do great im sure.. even if the fills are taken out you so you can eat for baby and you just keep in mind that after babby comes you will be able to start again.

Enjoy the the moment.

thank you so much everyone for your positive words. For some reason I expected at least one person to scold me and tell me how irresponsible I am. I'm 11wks along now and things are good. The dr says so far I will not have to have an unfill :biggrin: Really, thank you everyone for your supportive comments.
