I have seen anywhere from 3 months to 18 months. I think it really depends on your surgeon, and things like that. Call around your area and see what happens. Wishing you a happy rest of your pregnancy!

I agree, your surgeon will give you guidance. It will partly depend on his skills and how quickly his patients recover, how conservative he is, and so on. You'll learn one truism for lap band: each doc is different. They all have different diets, rules, outcomes, philosophies, etc. So find one you "click" with! (aside from being skilled etc)

as for when you can have it depends on whether your insurance will approve so soon after having the baby. that might not be an issue if you are self pay. And as the breastfeeding part as a mother who breast fed 3 kids i'd advise against it. I had so little appetite for the first few weeks post op it was a daily struggle to eat. I dont think you would get in enough nutrition to sustain both you and the baby properly. I'd suggest putting off being banded unil you have the baby weaned.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
