aroundthetown 8 Posted September 25, 2013 I had my band placed in 2011 and I was 287 at the time. My highest weight was 323. I've made it down to 189 and now I'm having a baby!! Hooray but nervous about my port looking funny on my preggo tummy and about gaining too much weight. Did anyone have trouble with the port or binge eating while pregnant? 3 MammaJamma42, PrettyThick1 and SeaSounders♥ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PrettyThick1 1,860 Posted September 25, 2013 Congratulations! Don't worry about how the port will look, just enjoy this journey and think happy thoughts about the beautiful little life you are bringing into the world. 1 SeaSounders♥ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather_8.1.14 65 Posted October 3, 2013 Congrats!!! Don't worry, you've been banded long enough to where you THINK you might want (or are) binge eating and you're really not. Just remember, you only need about 200-300 extra calories a day for baby, BUT don't try to diet or hold back on eating, just remember, moderation is key I'm 36wks pregnant and my port sticks out like a turkey timer, but it will go back after baby. So don't stress if one day it starts to hurt or "looks funny", its totally normal And no, baby will not tear it off the muscle wall, it might flip on its side, but it wont go anywhere. GOOD LUCK!
