Thanks everyone. Needed the info. You are right, I eat good and exercise so I should still be fine with a little unfill!!!!!!!

I feel like I am at my sweet spot BUT I have had a huge problem with acid reflu for a month. It is only at night but it is awful. Went to regular doc b/c did not think it was band related, put me on Prevacid (max dose) and nothing so finally called my Lapband doc on Friday and they said I was too tight and need to come in on Tuesday for a slight unfill!!!!!!!! i am miserable from not sleeping but scared to go down in band b/c I am doing sooo good right now. AM I the only one that has had this????????

S glad I found this post. Here is my story. Pregnant, deleived Feb 27th, scheduled my first fill after baby Apirl 7 by the Doctor his self not the nurse. I immediatley did not have restriction. Called them twice to try to get them to see me but was told "Your are fine we will see you in a month". Well, went yesterday and they pulled out nothing!!!!! i should have had 3.2cc's in and the doctor was to busy to talk to me. I am so hurt. The nurse filled me with 2.2cc's of omnipaque (which is like fix-a-flat for the band) I am praying this works. I am on liqiuds today then move to mushies. Anyway to the ones that have had to have their port replaced did the doctor offer to wave his fee or did you ask?? I want him to wave his fee. I am self-pay and we just had a baby we don't have the money to do this now but yet I have come this far can't walk away now???????? Can I????? Help please any advice would be great!!!!!

I did a search on this and can not find an answer. I was at 2.2 cc's during my pregnancy. had some restriction at 2.2cc's. My baby is 6 weeks old so went in for my fill. Doctor put me up to 3.2cc's and a week later I have NO restriction whats so ever. I am really worried that I have a leak and lost all my fluid. has this ever happened to anyone. I called the office and they can't get me in for 3 more weeks! What????? i am terribly disappointed in that!!!! Please anyone give me advice!!!!!!!

Wanted to introduce myself.........new to the group. I am 30 and have been banded since 12/06 but lost 43 pounds then got pregnant. My baby is 6 weeks old and I just got my fill today. I have 3.2 cc's in my band so I should have good restriction once I get off liquids. Ready to continue my weightloss journey. I wanted to find a group that can help keep me motivated!!!!!

katkeen- my pregnancy was band wise was uneventfull. I had my band unfilled to 2.2 cc's from 3.7 cc's due to vominitting in the first trimester. My moringing sickness was pretty bad but after I got past that I was fine. Kept my fill down to 2.2 until yesterday. I gained alot so know just trying to get bakc to were i was. Once you get banded and lose some weight AND get pregnant...you will be fine. ANy other questions I will be glad to answer for you!!!!!!

No, suggestions but we can encourage each other. My daughter was born a week ago today. I have lost 10 pounds as of this morning. I am really trying to make good choices but not really dieting yet. I go back for my fill April 7. I have to wait 6 weeks after the birth. I am breatfeeding so I think that will help me too! After I get cleared from teh doctor I will go back to the Y to work out.

Jodie- Just read your post. I gasped when I read that. You hold your head up high. You are a good person and do not let anyone try to make you feel like you are not. GOd has blessed you with this precious baby for a reason. There are no mistakes in his eyes. You are wonderful!

I'm here! Baby girl is here. SHe weighs 7 pounds 10 ozs. Delivered by c-section wed. I am doing great and baby is great. They let me come home on Friday so we are just resting and taking it easy. I am really surprised how quick my stomach has gone down. Last time I still looked pregnant. I will post more later, time for a nap while daughter is down!

Name: LaNora How far long: 38 weeks Due Dat: March 9 but Wed the 27th they are taking her by c-section It's a girl! I am so ready!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this idea Raynie. i was wondering how we were going to stay in contact. Wed is my day. iwill be a mom of 2! i can't wait! i am calling to make my fill appt this moring for 6 weeks out!

Jodi- I had the same problem. They thougth I had a slipped disk but as my pregnancy went onit got better. I still have lower abck pain but not as severe. You will make it!! GOt my time yesterday. The c-section is for the 27th at 7:30 am. I am so excited. My doctor ok-ed for my sister to come in the OR with me b/c she is a doctor! So it will be me and My husband and her! I am so excited. Now we just got to get her here. She is in NY and they had snow and all flights have been cancelled!! Hoping she can get in late tonight!

Subway! That sounds soooooooooo good!!!

I am so restless! I jsut wishe it would get here. I have had the stomach flu since Saturday so I have been really week. It started with throwing up but now it is just diarhea. I was up every hour last night in the bathroom! i feel so week today. i no I am dehydrated so I am just trying to stay on top of fluids today. When I do eat I need to try to eat some iron. I have not been able to take my prenatal vitaminin a week b/c Ihave been so sick! Please pray I get better!!!!!

I have gained 40 pounds. I was doing good intil the last 2 months and then it has just piled on. I did that also with my daughter and was not banded. I have outgrown all my maternity clothes but like 2 outfits so i just wear those! One more week!!!!!!!! Come the 27th! Dezadoo- I got unFiledl at 4 weeks b/c I was really sick. I have 2.2 cc's in my band now! I will get a fill at 6 weeks post baby. Jill- I crave milk too! That and water is all I drink. I get up in the middle of the night and drink milk. Isn't it crazy!

Wonderful nursery! Precious! I hope I lose weight like you did Candice, I have gained so much it is gross! Raynie- How far along are you now?

We waited 6 months. i was nly down 43 lbs but she will be worth it. I will lose it all again once she is here. My doctor was not all that worried. They did have to let me out b/c I was so sick at first. I will get filled back up 6 weeks after the baby is here.

Just got home from doctor. Still not dialated and she is breech as well. So this baby is not coming until the 27th. She is going to make me wait it out. Jodi- turns out I had an infection after all. YUCK!!!!!!!

We used pull and pray. I know is it not a method of birth control but worked for us. The one time I said don't pull out and let's see what happens well i was pregnant! Sorry if TMI but that was what we did!

Jodie I think I have the same rash. It came up yesterday and it is painful! I go to the doctor today at 4 so i am anxious to see what she says. I also hope she says I am dilated. If not she will come on the 27th I guess as scheduled. She has dropped. I feel like her head is right between my legs which is a new feeling for me. My DD was was transverse s I never had that feeling!

candice- I amso glad to hear you and baby are fine. I know you are glad to have him in your arms. I am sceduled for my c-section feb 27th. i am getting really excited now. Can't wait to hold her! Good tip about onions. I breastfed my first and will do it agin. I tried to eat mild foods b/c they are so sensitive to everything. happy to hear you are doing wonderful. You baby is precious! Keep us posted!

Jodi- I am with everyone else. Call your Doc in the morning. I had something similar to this and they had to call me something in and it was wonderful. It cleared right up! It does hurt. I am with you! Had a good weekend but feel myUTI is still lingering. Took my last anitbotic Thursday and SAturday I started hurting again! I am calling my doctor first thing in the morning! You ladies have a good night, going to bed!

I am so excited about the c-section day! The epidural did not bother me the first time around. I was ok with it but needles have never bothered me. I just rouned out by back and hugged a pillow nad did not feel a thing. Isn't that weird? I do remember feeling the first needle that numbed me but that was like a sting. They always say like a bee sting but I have been stung by a bee and it hurt that did not! Jodi- They told me I had a slipped disk too early in my pregnancy but I feel tons better now so I hope you start feeling better soon!!

I had to go to a chiropractor until I was 7 months and then she would not touchme after that. I hurt so bad, if I dropped something it stayed onthe floor until my husband got home. It has seemed to let up but still don't bend my or pick heavy stuff up. Try to limit picking up my daughter too which is hard. I just got back from the doctor, They scheduled my c-section for Feb 27. I am so excited. So if my Water does not break that will be her birthday! I am so excited! Only 3 weeks to go!!!!

Don't you love that comfortable feeling you get once you finally amke it to maternity clothes?? I have out grown almost all of my maternity clothes and am looking for a mumuu to wear!!!!My friend bought me a gown last week when they admitted me into the hospital for 2 days and Ilove it! I pretty much live in it!!!!!!!
