Not 2 worry sweetheart I '2' was banded in april 2005, pregnant by feb. 2006 and deliverd a healthy 9 lb. bouncing baby boy nov. 2006. Here is the good part ; preband weight 288 lbs , prepregnancy (post-band) weight of 223 lbs, delivery weight of 263 lbs and today Im 213 lbs with a goal of 178 lbs (soon I hope). So I lost about 65 lbs got pregnant and gained 40 lbs back and have now lost 50 lbs again but have 35 more to go! So baby the baby was worth it but I wont do it again because now I have a girl and boy. An 11 yr. old and 2 yr. old; so Im done! GOOD LUCK!!:thumbup:
