LisaMG 5 Posted September 13, 2004 Hi Amanda, I got the band placed in me July 23,2004 and am loving it! Seven weeks and 20 lbs. ! Energy galore! I could list everything I've done in the past seven weeks that I've wanted to do now for the past 2-3 years of my life, but I'll spare you. Sounds like your a little nervous............ Have you taken the time to look into other peoples stories? There is several websites to look at and chose from. They have hundreds of stories in them. Obesityhelp.com is one of them. Alot of them include before and after pics and are sooo incouraging to read. You learn alot reading them! I'll help if I can but i'm kinda new at all of this myself and encourage you to seek a "mentor" it could be this board if thats what you choose. This place has a pool of info floating in it! All on bandsters! Not the bypass, I really like that! Your gonna do great, you've started off good already just posting this request, it"s important to have a good support system.

Penni60 45 Posted September 13, 2004 First off I have a daughter called Amanda and she is 26. So I will consider you my surrogate daughter. Second, I have another daughter called Alicia and she is 24 who lives in Clarksville, TN. So I come to Nashville, TN area quite often. When I come into town I will certainly want to go to lunch or dinner or just simply meet you while I am in town. I don't know just yet when that next visit will happen but I will keep you posted. Private Message me your info and I will reply with mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted September 13, 2004 Many women have been both banded and pregnant successfully. The most that I know of use mostly Yahoo Groups Smartbandsters. I'm sure there are others. I think they take most of the fill out for the duration of the pregnancy then refill after the birth, but I have heard of no complications whatsoever with the pregnancy or delivery itself. I wish you luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
