THanks for the feedback everyone. I will check out the other forums on pregnancy.

Congrats! I did ask my doctor is there was any risks in pregnancy while having a lap band. He said none b/c the baby will still get the proper nutrition. I was just curious if any has gone through it. Keep me posted if you don't mind.

I was just wondering if anyone has gotten pregnant after being banded or if you have any information on pregnancy & lap band. I have been married for a year and a half and my husband and I plan on getting pregnant within the next 2 years. I was banded on June 13th. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

I just got my first fill Monday. I am feeling restriction but I don't know if it's as much as I should be feeling.

Hey liquidbluegal, I just wanted to introduce myself b/c I noticed we had a few things in common. I am 27, my highest weight was 235 and my goal is 140. I was just banded on June 13th. I will be getting my first fill on Monday and very excited about it. I've lost 11 lbs in the first 2 weeks after surgery but haven't lost anymore since. I am worried about the flabby skin also but think the best thing to do is exercise. I am joining the gym tomorrow. Do you know if you are allowed to have alcohol with the band? Nice to meet you, fntasa98 (Jessica)

I am 11 days post op also and my port incision is still red and the one that is most sore. However, it does not hurt. Mine has bled a little within the last two days so I re-bandaged it. I would definitely call the doctor if it hurts. Better to be safe than sorry.

I hear, using the flavor packets are fine. My nurse also told me not to drink vitamin water, but Propel is ok.

Congrats Salsa1877! 100lbs & a size 4, WOW!!! It's hard to even imagine. I hope to be like you in a year. I will be banded Friday. Pincham2brn, I wouldn't be too concerned about not losing any weight. I have two friends that were banded and their doctor was more concerned about them healing, then losing at that stage. Once you are healed enough to get your first fill, things should change. Good luck!!!

I will be banded on June 13th. I can't wait!!! I'm full of anxiety and excitement now, but I will be nervous when the time comes. This will be my first time under anesthetic.

I will be banded next Friday and I have to start a liquid diet Monday. I am a little aprehensive about it too but as long as you keep the end goal in mind, you (we) should do fine!!! Good luck!

I will be banded next Friday, June 13th. Monday & Tuesday of next week I will have to go on a full liquid diet of just soups, shakes & smoothies. Wednesday & Thursday I will have to drink nothing but clear liquid. Does anyone have any suggestions of things to eat / drink so I can plan for next week?:eek:
