getting on track after baby

Hi

I had my band placed last april 23rd. I did have some quick weight loss. But, after 13 years of infertility and turning 40 I got pregnant in early july. the baby is now 8 weeks old and I am nursing, but want to get back on track. I am not feeling very restricted. I did have the doctor keep the 2 cc's of my fill in place throughout the pregnancy only gained 17 pounds during and have lost 25 pounds since delivery. How should I best get back into the groove--should I start with a fill? go back to full liquids for a bit. Please advise me--thanks

what you have described is my dream!!! Did you get the band specifically to address your infertility? That is the main reason I got banded one week ago. We've been through infertility hell for the last 3 plus years; I can't imagine how you survived for 13. I'm praying that this band will help me lose the weight necessary to either stall my PCOS long enough to get pregnant, OR make me a more successful participant in IVF. So, you got pregnant only 3 months after being banded? If you don't mind my asking, how much weight did you lose in that period of time? Sorry that I can't address your original question, as I've only been banded a week!
