Hi everyone! I am soo excited! It's been a 1 year and 2 months after my lapband surgery and now I'm prego!!!! My husband and I have been trying for a VERY long time! I mean LONG time. This baby is Miracle baby.

I recently took out all the fluids out of my band. I had 9cc. It felt so wired to eat all my food. Lol

I am 9 weeks and didn't even know lol I just found out last week.

What advise would you give?? I'm a 1st time mommy thank u for any positive comments

First off Congrats!!! I was banded 8/20/10 lost 60lbs then got pregnant!! It is so exciting and amazing!! I tried my best to stick to a healthy diet and limited my intake and was able to only gain 25 lbs although my baby is 8months now and i am nursing and i think everyone telling me nursing would make me lose weight got to my head bc i am almost back to pre op weight!! Ugh so frustrated i am getting fills again starting Monday and i cant wait although i am terrified it will effect my milk supply :/ also I've gotten so used to my old eating habits it's gonna be hard to change...so when I think about it i just tell myself next time around stick to my usual diet and don't go off track (unless you get a craving of course!! ;) )

I to am preggers with an empty band! 14 weeks and 5 days. I've gained 3 pounds so far.

I've been banded for almost 5 years but I've had a lot of complications that ended up with me losing and gaininh the same 50 pounds three times but over all I've lost around 130 lbs and 60 of it was over the summer right before I got pregnant which I assumed helped.

We were not trying but found out on our anniversary that we were expecting :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
