2003 I was 20, now 27 and down 100 lbs

I have been banded for 7 years. I have 2 children and a third on the way, with my first it took 6 months to get pregnant but then I miscarried, I got pregnant again 3 months later, I had pretty bad morning sickness and had it all taken out which was a mistake. I gained 75 lbs with that pregnancy. I had a normal vaginal delivery no problems, i also breastfeed for the first year and had no problems with my band or port, I lost all my weight after about a year i got pregnant again on my first cycle we tried, that time I had them take half out and I gained about 50 lb. with that pregnancy but I had some put back when my dr said I was gaining to much, my delivery went just fine again and no band problems I lost the weight quicker and still had enough food intake to breastfeed her also, this time I'm 6 weeks pregnant and have had back pain nausea and throwing up however I just had some taken out and my back pain is gone and I'm not nearly as nauseous I'm hoping to only gain about 30 lbs this time. Hope this helped
