New Mom and gaining weight Hi all! So I've had my lab band since 6/2012. I've had great success with it by losing and maintaining an 80lb loss until I got pregnant and had a severe cardiac issue. My son, now 2 1/2 months is a very healthy baby but I just can't get back on track. My cardiac issue resolved after I gave birth thank god. My band has about 1cc in it and even the smallest amount of stress makes my band so tight that even the easiest of foods get stuck. Im at a loss on what to do. I'm afraid that if I get an adjustment and I get stressed I wouldn't even be able to keep fluids down. All I do know is, is that I'm 40lbs heavier from my lowest and it's making me very depressed. I literally fit in only my maternity clothes and that's it. I feel like the old me, the me prior to my band and I don't like it. Any advise would be greatly appreciated Sincerely a very tired new mom Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
