Babies and the Band



Recommended Posts

I just had a very good local friend who has the band (Lopez, Oct 03 I believe) and she just gave birth this last week to the most beautiful little girl. I was so proud of mom and baby. The only problems my friend had was the occassional gallbladder irritation but they couldn't surgically do anything about it until after the baby was born. I don't think she has had any recent gall bladder problems so who knows if she'll need to get that taken care of. She did not gain anything during her pregnancy but actually lost a couple of pounds. I am waiting to hear how much she really lost now that the baby and placenta are out of her. She also had to have a C-section and that went perfectly normal. Her doctors were all aware of her band and she stayed nutricianally sound the whole pregnancy. Her baby weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. I'll ask her if I can post pics of the baby because she is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Best wishes, Teresa

What a beautiful story. My doc calls the band the fertility band, cause so many women are infertile from being MO. I love babies so much, Theresa, I just want to hug that one. Best wishes to them both. What's the baby's name?

I am inn-sitting this week at the bed and Breakfast and they have lame old dial up so I've been kind of limited on my internet time. I'll email Tracey tomorrow (she's actually a member of LBT but more of a lurker) and ask her about posting the babies pics. Tracey is the sweetest person in the world and I just adore her. She already had 3 children but now 4 AND she runs a daycare at home. Anyone who can do that has the patients of a saint. We met after I got my band and we realized we had the same surgeon. She had a heck of a time finding a good fill doc but after yours truly referred her to my wonderful Dr. Eubanks she is much happier with her fills. She has lost 115 lbs (before the babies birth) not sure what it is now. Like me, she started on the heavier side (somewhere close to my origonal weight) so she has a while for goal yet but she is looking great. I swear she looks younger and younger every time I see her. She's my starbuck buddy. Every couple of weeks we email each other and say "Hey, wanna meet!" Anyway I'm getting chatty. I'll email her and put those pics on if she agrees.

Yes, she is adorable. And between you and me Lisa, it kind of would be nice to be having a cute little baby girl. I teased my friend about adopting her baby to me her whole pregnacy. She just wouldn't go for it... LOL.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
