Had surgery 10mos after birth of my first child. I was 249lbs pre surgery. After slow fills and careful diet I dropped my weight down to a sleek 140lbs! I maintained this weight easily and felt comfortable, eating like a normal person. After getting pregnant with second child, I had band emptied at 10wks. I struggled to maintain my diet and fought my cravings. My second child is currently two weeks old and my weight is a staggering 201lbs... I am breastfeeding and am going to continue breastfeeding for at least one year. I would love to hear from anyone who has had lapband and breastfed whether it was triumphant or not. I am currently wondering whether or not I should have a fill after 6wks..
