Looking For Support - Any Empty Banders/broken Banders Preggo?

[general_antiope 189]

Hi all,

I'm looking for support. My lap band has sprung a leak for a third time, three surgeries later, and this time, I'm pregnant.

I've gained 12 lbs in the past month since the band emptied, and all my food issues are coming back, compounded by hormones/hunger.

I'm determined to get through the pregnancy without blowing up. I've maintained an 80 - 100 lb loss for 6+ years despite my band breaking within the first year.

I've already located a local doctor to replace my band once the baby and breastfeeding are done, but in the meantime, I'm white-knuckling being without my training wheels.

Is anyone else going through this or something similar?

Thanks

Kate

Hi!

I just had a baby and just had Fluid taken from my band (I'm down to 1.5 cc now). I just posted on another topic about how I managed to handle my cravings, especially during pregnancy, and keep up with slow weight loss even when I hadn't had any fills to my band.
