hi all i was banded in oct of 07. i lost 95 lbs and got pregnant in august of last yr. i'm now 32 weeks and have gained what feels like a ton of weight lol but so far about 30 lbs. i was not unfilled completely. i had 5.8 ccs in and the dr took out a half a cc and i have had no problems . i'm more worried about having a healthy baby than how much weight i have gained. i'm wondering if there is a difference with labor with the lap band than without??? i don't want my port to flip. and congrats to all the lap band babies out there!!!!

i have lost 61 lbs since 10/05/07. and i am feeling great and looking forward to the summer. start weight 235 currently 174 !!!:ohmy:

i'm getting banded today at 7:30 am by dr. haag in springfield ma. i'm up now being so nervous but very happy can't wait to talk to other banders going through what i'm going through. good luck to everyone.

Julie, what time is your surgery? I'm due in at 6:00 am! I think surgery is scheduled for 7 or 7:30. I'm getting excited!!</p> <p> </p> <p>After the meeting I spent a lot of time talking to Linda, she is the lady who lost 175 lbs! She looks fabulous and will talk freely about her journey. </p> <p> </p> <p>Wishing you best of luck and I do hope we meet!

</p> <p>omg!!!! i got a call yesterday afternoon saying they had a cancellation and now i have to be there at 6:00am too. i can't believe that that is too funny. now i'm sure i'll see you there i'm so excited too. i can't believe this is gonna really happen

I'm going Monday Sept. 24th to another support group of people who are interested in the band and who have had the band. I've already been to one and this will be my second. It will be real important since it is just 2 weeks prior to my surgery. I have to pick the brains of the bansters! It's in West Springfield.

that is too funny i was at that meeting and i'm getting banded the same day at the same place only with dr haag. maybe i'll run into you....lol good luck

I'm a floor nurse and I'm getting banded Oct. 5th. My doc says 2 weeks because there is no light duty for nurses on my floor. I have to lift people and do a lot of running around. thank goodness my manager just had bypass 2 months ago - she said take as long as I need. Beth
