I was banded in June, and it wasn't a planned pregnancy but I fell pregnant in August. My surgeon was really happy for me and although we would of liked me to have lost much more weight, but it's not how it worked out. I started at 323pounds, and now weigh 287pounds, so I'm still losing whilst pregnant, and on Monday I'll be 15 weeks pregnant. I have 6.4ml in my 10ml band, and when I get to around 28 weeks, it's my surgeon's request I get all my fill taken out for the last trimester and 2 weeks after I give birth, I'll have my fill put back in. I am from Australia, so could be different here, but I would think each surgeon will have their own thoughts and feelings on everything. I'm going to be getting a little fill taken out just before Christmas, because with being pregnant I'm finding my band gets tight and hard to eat during the day now. Since I fell pregnant so early on after being banded, I'm not really sure how I'm meant to feel with my band, I look forward to giving birth and really seeing what the band will do for me. My surgeon is stoked at my weight loss since being pregnant, because really I'm losing more because you have to take into account the fact I'm gaining weight because I'm pregnant. Sorry I've gone on and on!

Hi! Sorry I know this has probably put up heaps of time. I am newly banded and now onto the mushies... anyone got any great recipes for the mushie stage?

Great question! I am planning on a trip to the USA (I'm from Australia) to visit my girlfriend and re-marry my honey in Vegas... (again!)
