Morning Sickness or Too Tight?
Tricia K. replied to vickyl702's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I agree with the above poster. You really should have some of the saline taken out so that you're able to eat the necessary amount of calories per day to support your growing baby. I never had morning sickness or vomitting during my pregnancy but I did have my band loosened 3 times during. I started at 2.8cc in a 4cc band. At about 3 1/2 months, I had .4cc taken out just in case I needed to eat more. At 5 months, I had another .4cc taken out prior to flying in the event the change in altitude affected my restriction (and it did!). Then, at 8 months, I had 1cc taken out because my little guy was pushing up on the band and I got fairly restricted. Best of luck to you! -

How much weight lost before deciding to get preggers?
Tricia K. replied to spudgirl's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
spudgirl, you should never discount the fact that you've already lost 41 pounds! That's fantastic. Imagine where you'd be if you hadn't lost those 41 pounds. I would suggest waiting a little while before TTC because it's healthier overall. However, I do wish you luck, whatever you decide. BTW, I was 2 pounds below goal when I got pregnant. -
Cool! I'm glad to see you here. I'm 3 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight so, for the most part, yeah.
Thanks for the kind words about Little Lenny! Gavin is so handsome!

I am so sorry for just now getting back to you. I haven't been on this site for a very long time and didn't know I had messages.
Dr. Lavin in Covington did my surgery in September of 2005. His practice is called Surgical Specialists of Louisiana and his web site is www.whyweight.com.
Good luck!

To answer your question, it took 1 1/2 years to get to 165. The last 20 or so pounds is the hardest but well worth the effort. Thanks so much for your kind words!
