Lap Band Life Changes and Pregnant

It's been a year since I've been on this website, well so much has happened over this past year and I have so much to talk about. Well my last post was about my band being taken out, well thank God that didn't happen and since then I was able to get more fills. My band is a size 14 CC and I am filled to 10 1/2 cc's; I had not had a fill since then because I am pretty tight. The unfortunate thing is, although my band is tight; I have not lost much weight. I lost a total of maybe 50 pounds and maintain that weight since then, I wish I can say the band is fully working for me but I just can't; it is only helping me maintain the weight I had already lost.

 

Also, one of the worst things happened over the summer; my awesome doctor had passed away at such a young age (in his 40's). He passed away doing one of his passions in life (building fueled model planes). I didn't even know it happened until I went to my appointment. I first notice that something was wrong when my appointment was pushed back a few days later and when I arrived to the appointment everyone was in a sad mood and of course that is when the news was given to me. He had passed the day of my original appointment. I went to his service and all I could do is cry; a lot of his colleagues, patients, friends and family were there; it was a blow to everyone. Now I have his partner who also worked in the office as my doctor, he did my last fill and I did not like him; he is not even close to how my former doctor was; he is brash, not patient, he does to give enough care to his patients or to me, at least. So I have not been back needless to say.

 

Finally, my company has been brought out by another company so I will be moving out of state come late summer or early fall of 2012, so my husband and I decided to have a baby before we leave because do not want to be pregnant starting my new career in this new place. We are so happy that we will be having a baby; this is his first and my second child. I am concern and worried about these new changes in my life, it's been over 10 years since the last time I was pregnant, so I feel like I am starting all over again with having a baby and it is even more nerve wrecking that I still have my band on and filled to10 1/2 CC's. Has anyone gone through some of these issues and if so can you give some advice or knowledge through your experience? Thanks for reading!
