Think positive. Baby steps and you got this....

Amazing! You go girl!

Just found out surgery date is 9 Jan. Oh no....here we go!

First let me say....oh thank god! I'm not the only one. I had the band placed in 2006 and was loving it....until 2 years ago. Now band has to come out and I was just approved for a VSG. I'm so flippin nervous, but not because of the surgery itself - but because of failing....Again. Knowing what it's like to have been heavy all my life to being -I never thought I'd be this skinny- skinny to heavy again (which I swore I'd never do). I'm truly terrified. Thank you for posting this and being honest. I breathed I sigh of relief. You go girl! You got this!

Once I lost a lot of weight you could sometimes see my port even before I was pregnant. I haven't had any problems with my port, but I am only 17 weeks pregnant. I have heard of some women who have port pain in their 3rd trimester.

I am in Wiesbaden, but I was banded in 2007 back in the states. I am pregnant now and going to have my first unfill at Dr. Weiner's office....anybody used him? What was your experience with your fills if you have had any....

I am a little over 8 weeks pregnant and I am eating ALL the time. I mean - every hour or 1 1/2 or so. If I am not eating I am drinking - it is so frustrating. If I don't eat, I will get really nausea and lightheaded (it feels like an out of body experience). I have tried a bunch of different things, such as protein drinks or milk as 'snacks' but it only last about 15-20 min. Then I have to eat again. Eating has become such a chore - I have also noticed that I am able to eat A LOT more. I am wondering if anyone else has gone thru this and what did they do? Should I have a complete unfill or what? I was super heavy with my first child (I was high risk because of my weight) and gained a lot of weight with her as well and I am so scared this time. Help! I need some advice.
