Omg!!! You are the person I have been searching for on here!! I just had my second child June 30th (only with band) and am breastfeeding. My doc wants me to start filling in another month. I too gained waaay too much weight while preggo. I need to lose 60lbs to get back to my goal weight. I am scared however, that fills will hurt my breastfeeding. Please share your experience and any tips or advice you have for breastfeeding and losing the baby weight. Thank you so much

I got banded April 2008. I successfully went from 280 to 160 in 1yr 6mths. Now I am 230 and so upset. I feel like I'm starting over fromthe beginning. I need some encouragement. Any mothers out there successfully take the weight take back off after being pregnant. I am also breast feeding how will the lapband effect that?

Hi! I just had baby number two June 30th and am wondering if you breastfed with band? I am anxious to get back to my skinny jeans (50lbs to go) and am wondering how difficult it is going to be. I am new to this site so if you can't help me can you point me in the right direction? thanks!

Hello everyone,

Brief background: Banded 4/16/2009, 8/1/09 found out we were EXPECTING! (She was a surprise, not planned so close after surgery). 4/24/2010 baby is born. 6/10/2011 first fill after baby. Now, I am trying to get back into the swing of things. Due to the situation I only had 2 fills prior to finding out about the baby, so at this time, I believe I have a total of 4cc's in my band, with relatively good restriction. I find myself hungry every 2-3 hours though, and am wondering if this is too frequant? Since it has been so long, I forgot everything and need to brush up. I am wondering if anyone out there has some good documents that may help with guidelines and meal ideas, and the correct amount to eat at each meal, etc. I am going to do this the right way! Any help is a lot of help!

Thanks so much!

Also, if I can answer any of your questions you may have, I am open!

Thanks a lot and take care!
