UPDATE >>>> All went so well at the DR's yesterday. I love love love the DR. She was so kind and understanding. I have 3 follow up appointments so far. She assured me that they will keep a close watch on this pregnancy. So for the first time i'm quite optimistic about being pregnant. I'm trying not to get over excited though. My first two appointments will be ultrasounds and the third will be routine stuff like diet and exercises and talking over any concern. So far so good.I'll keep praying daily and trying not to worry. Next update will be 3/7/11. Oh and before I end estimated due date is 10/11/11.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and new to posting of all/any sorts. I've been banded since feb. of 2009 i just hit the 2yr mark. I've lost only a total of 48 pnds (not sure if that's normal but i'm still trying). I'm wondering how many people have had successful pregnancies after the band? I have had two unsuccessful pregnancies in 2010 and i'm pregnant again now. Ok let me say im also a newly wed in case the pregnancies appear excessive.I'm very nervous and just looking for support with the pregnancy. I do talk to my husband however I don't want him to know that i'm as nervous as I am. Is it normal with the band to experience miscarriages? Any feed back would be grate.

Thank u ladies for the support. The web is such a great resource. I go for my first appointment on Monday 2/28. I'm hoping all goes well. I have switched to a new DR because my previous one never even considered asking me to do any test to see what was going on (after two miscarriages). Not to mention the Ultrasound Tech told me the baby passed in front of my 10 yr old daughter. (Talk about insensitive) that's to say the least about them. I spent time researching offices yesterday. I'm hoping this experience will be far better than that of the past. I'll keep ya posted.
