Band Baby- Upcoming First Fill! Excited!

[NewStart95987 35]

I had my band surgery in 2 years ago. Not even 2 months after surgery, I transferred from Northern California to Southern California for my job. A month and a half after my move, I found out I was pregnant. Never had a fill and decided not to since I have blood clots and other things to worry about with my pregnancy.

My 2nd official day of maternity leave and one day before going into labor, my company sold and 2 months after returning to work, I was laid off. Losing my medical benefits after already having a hard time finding a surgeon willing to take me on since I was hours from my original surgeon, I haven't been able to get a fill.

I'm feel like I have started my journey by having my band but haven't used it and feel I'm going no where.

I'm making a special trip up north to see my surgeon and HOPEFULLY get my first fill! I'm scared, excited, nervous! I'll be so upset if I can't get a fill. I'm ready to lose some weight!

With all of this craziness, I thank God for my beautiful band baby who turned 1 on May 23rd. What a blessing!

Wish me luck! Any advice?

Biggest thing I can offer you is don't be too concerned or overly upset if you don't feel restriction right away. A lot of surgeons are different and may only do .5cc's at a time, or some as many as 3cc's at your first fill. I didn't feel a good restriction until about my 3-4th fill. And happy belated birthday to your sweet baby <3 Good luck! Keep us posted!
