Hello I was just banded on the 13th. Was wondering if there were any others that want to join this journey with me that are local! Maybe we could meet up every so often to share success stories!

Is it really my choice or what? I discussed the possibility of pregnancy with the surgeons ans the pa before getting the band and after getting the band. A couple of the PA's have said they would unfill once they found out I was pregnant. So the million dollar question is do I have to have an unfill or can I fight this? Here's my background story to help you decide on the answer. Was banded on Dec 13th and have lost 40.5lbs. I have 6.1ml in my 10ml band and I finally feeling satisfied longer like I'm pretty sure Im close to my green zone with this last fill. I haven't had any stuck episodes or anything like that! I do pretty well with the rules. 2 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant went to the doctor and they said everything looked great. I increased my calories and am still exercising the only I haven't done is get an unfill. So here's my thinking of why I don't want to get an unfill. I feel like if I can take in the nutrients that the baby needs which is only 300 more calories a day and still not have any stuck episodes or have any morning sickness why would I go get an unfill cause all that will do is allow me to eat more and gain weight back which isn't healthy for the baby. I know I need to gain which is fine but I only want to gain what I need to gain for the baby... I mean if I begin to vomit or have morning sickness then of course I will have an unfill but why not stay right where I'm at and only gain what I need to. There are plenty of overweight women that have lost weight during their pregnancy just by simply eating better for the baby and I think as long as the baby is healthy I should be fine right? Oh I'm only 6 weeks so all the symptoms should start showing their ugly side haha!

Hmmm good point too! Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank u! We are pretty excited! We didn't expect to get pregnant right away either! I'm not sure what it feels like unbanded actually. This is our first. So we will see! I will def keep ya posted!

Doing well! I'm down 40.5lbs and now I'm pregnant!!!! Doing well though. I'm finally close to my green zone now!

I have a mfp acct which I keep as my food journal! Thanks for the tip! And yeah I font feel like I'm mentally strong enough yet to stand one my own if I get an unfill but I will def do what's best for me and the lil bean!

Hey I hear ya.... all u can do now is look forward and get back on track! I'm working on getting back on track too! Good luck!

OK all my west side people! We should meet up soon in phoenix... posissble next Saturday? Would anybody be interested?

Mine? Lifewillbegood

So how is everyone doing? Hope all is well!

That's great you're walking. Don't push yourself though. Ask your surgeon. Its ultimately up to them. Mine had me wait for 4 weeks to allow healing time!

Thanks for the info.... I will look into that one too. I would def like something local too!

Yeah it would be nice. Its hard to communicate on here! I can look into making a page or group!

Awesome!
