Congrats on the baby girl !!! I really want another girl but will happy either way. So sorry to hear about the Mc. I just turned 33 I guess technically yesterday now lol. My Lord I'm wide awake now. All the sleeping I did is back firing on me now ! If you do FB feel free to add me. I'm MrsBridget Harris on there. Then you can actually see who you are talking to since this site will not let me updated a pic on my profile ! I haven't saw Dr Bagnato since my first fill. I just use the fill center now. I love his staff and the ones in the fill center also they are all so nice ! Its great you and your Mom have each other to go through the band together. I just had to wing it myself, there was a lady at work that had it done that kinda told me about it but I didn't really talk to her that much and then a friend of mine at work had the sleeve done and her experience was different. She lives in Warner Robins also and she just had plastic surgery... She looks amazing now ! Well I'm about to try and count some sheep again because if not I will be half dead when I get there ! This is my last week in my current position... I got a promotion and start the new job on Monday !! So many exciting things happening. Also if you add me on fb just know we haven't announced the pregnancy yet..we are planning to do a big announcement after my appt next Thursday !!!! I love some Pinterest they have so many ideas for announcing...ttyl

Thank you !! After much sleep and lots of nasty burping I do feel better...never actually threw up...still dog tired..this baby is kicking my butt ! I swear I wasn't this tired with my first..but I was also 24 when I had her. We had dinner with some friends and it was nice. I'm just ready for bed and already dreading work in the morning ! I can't imagine a complete unfill...once they took out all but one cc because i had gotten sick and I cried so much and was so scared but only gained 10lbs. Even with 6ccs I still feel like I can eat more at times than I should. But I can feel the restriction which is a great comfort for me. I gained so much weight with my daughter and had gestational diabetes it was rough. I really hope this pregnancy is better controlled and I'm hoping my band will help. That's crazy you are still having food come up with nothing in your band, you may be swollen from just being pregnant. Do you know what you are having yet ? I'm patiently waiting for my first ultrasound next Thursday !! I need to see ONE healthy baby inside. Twins are a big fear for me. They run on both sides of my family and my husbands. And with me feeling so tired and belly poking out from being so bloated so early its in the back of my mind ! I know every pregnancy is different but this one is nothing like my first other than no morning sickness either time. Its so nice being able to talk to you

From what I've read most of us have to get fluid taken out towards the end because of running out of room. I'm hoping to hang on as long as possible. How big is your band ? Mine is a 10cc and I have 6ccs in it right now. Today wasn't the best for me. I've been so exhausted and I ate lunch at 11 and started feeling sick right away. Not baby sick but band sick like it didn't go down and like it was gonna come up. I left work and came home and been asleep for a few hours. I should have never went to work on my birthday anyways lol bad karma im the big 33 today !! I feel better right this second..my hubby wants us to go have dinner when he gets home, which is the last thing I wanna do but I think he has something up his sleeve so I will go along with it. I can always order soup haha. Hope today was better for you...ttyl

Sorry you had a rough day ! Just take it a day at a time. Even if you are not eating enough the baby will get what it needs from your body. Make sure you baby your band today and do the shakes until things calm down.

I'm in the beginning I'll be 8wks Friday. I breastfeed my first baby but that was 8 1/2 yrs ago. You do need to drink plenty of water and eat healthy but I didn't have to eat much. You can also buy over the counter meds or your Dr can give you a prescription for something to help with your milk supply. It will help you shed the pounds much faster which is awesome ! I only did it 5 months last time but I plan to go for the long haul this time ! The first week is always rough but once you and baby adjust its the best thing ever. No making bottles in the middle of the night. Not to mention the bonding experience is just amazing. As for the skin issue, I hate it...mine has not snapped back like I hoped it would...once I have the baby and loses the remainder of the weight I'm prob gonna need some plastic surgery. Wishful thinking because I prob will not be able to afford it lol. My poor boobs have been deflated but I must admit being pregnant is looking good on them lol Today has been a hungry day and I hate those but thankful for my band because it gives me the restraint I need because I can be hard headed

I had mind about a year and a half ago and have done pretty good. Lost around 70 lbs and had about 30 more to go. I had kinda stalled with my weight loss and then bam I was pregnant. How have you done with yours ? A friend of mine got a sleeve done and she has done excellent ! Makes me a little jealous because she got off the surgery table and was ready to go as where we have to get fills over time and the progress was much slower. Either way hands down the best decision ive ever made.

I sure did !! You must live near me I don't live in Macon but I work in Macon

My port is above my left breast towards my underarm. I can only imagine how uncomfortable y'alls is

Congrats !!! I haven't stepped near a scale. I'm still eating like I have been so no changes in my appetite. Every time I eat I get severely bloated I'm 7wks today..no morning sickness so not concerned with getting an unfill. As long as I can eat enough and not have morning sickness I will keep my band as is. My first baby appt. Is 7/2 so patiently waiting

Oh no ! Sounds like you've had a tough pregnancy... I'm praying for no morning sickness, I didn't have it with my first but I know every pregnancy is different. The thought of Gaining weight is so scary..I'm like I already got rid of all my fat clothes !!! The most important thing is a healthy pregnancy and I will do what it takes for me and the baby. I hope things start going better for you ! And glad to meet another band mommy to be

Finally a reply !! Lol I was beginning to think I was alone congrats on the new baby. So far no sickness or change in appetite so my fingers are crossed ! I did have reflux issues twice last night that woke me up so today I feel like the walking dead. My daughter is 8yrs old so I'm pretty much starting all the way over. I don't not remember being this tired with her. Its all I can do to make it through the day. Im starting my prenatal vitamins tomorrow so I'm praying they give me a little pep in my step Congrats again on the new baby !!

Just found out I'm 5 wks pregnant !! We have been trying for a year now and its finaly happened. I've been banded for a year and a half now and have lost all but 35lbs of the weight I wanted to lose. I have had no morning sickness and can eat pretty normal now. I'm just curious as to when any of you had to get an unfill. I'm thrilled and terrified ! I do not want to gain weight. Realistically I know that I will. I felt like I had things under control but now I'm questioning everything and want to have a safe healthy pregnancy. Any tips or suggestions or any anything would be appreciated
