She is good getting big. She will be 3 in Sept. I was almost at goal and then the pounds snuck up on me. I have lots to loose:

Rain , I am in the same boat. I am struggling everyday also. Watching the pounds adding back on. It is very frustrating! However I don't think I am ready to do a different surgery.

Sally, Please keep us posted on the removal! Good luck

Hi everyone. This is my first time posting on this thread. I am 20 weeks pregnant with my third child. I was banded a year ago. My first child was born at 29 weeks and my second 32 weeks. They have no idea why I was early my water just broke. This time I feel like I spend every other day at the doctor. My ob still sees me every 4 weeks, but I see a "high risk" doctor for shots every Friday(to try and ward off preterm labor). I also see her for ultrasounds. Anyway I have read your posts and happy that all seems well. Good Luck to everyone.

Good Luck CB!! Thank you everyone, It reallly has put my mind more at ease. I am so excited.

Thank you for the replies. I probably will get a unfill. I know that I will have some work ahead of me after the baby is born to lose any extra pounds. Congrats to you both!!!

Hi everyone. I am just a little worried. I am 7 months from my lap band surgery and have found out I am pregnant. Wonderful news. I believe my doc requires a complete un fill. I was just wondering what everyones experience is with being pregnant with the band. Is it ok that I am only 7 months out. I just want to have a healthy pregnancy. Thankyou for any comments or suggestions.

I haven't posted in so long, I thought I would post to say hello. Had my band surgery 6/23 and doin ok. How is everyone?

Bloomerific you will do great!!!

Hey everyone how is it going. It has been awhile since I have posted. Livelaughlove welcome back!!!! Good luck for your surgery bloomerific.

My husband had his first fill appointment this morning. You guys probably passed in the hall.

Hi Judy, Congrats!!!! I was sore the first week too. I did have bruising. The bruise thats the biggest is probably your port. Mine is between my breasts, well under alittle. Dr. Hoffman says the bruising is because of the blood thinners they give us.

Judy it is written by a doctor and a patient. It is a very good reference guide. I read it before surgery and it didn't freak me out.(which would have been easy pre surgery). I also use it now for a reference.
