Peanutband

It has been a long time sense I have done a post. Things are so very busy. I have not lost anything. For I have gain everything I lost. The reason is I am pregnant with TWINS. I am due in December. Once the babies come I will get back on the wagon again. I am hoping that I will loose all the weight I have gain. But we will see. Now for the questions: Just curious as to how all of you have been doing since ur surgery in January? I am doing great. I love life right now. I could not be happier. Are you happy about your band? I LOVE my band. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Thank you LAP-BAND® and DR.Moran! How do you love bandster life? It was the best decision I have ever made for my life. I would do it over in a heartbeat. I just wished I have done it much sooner in my life but at least I did get it done. How close are you to your goal? I don't think I will be getting anywhere near my goal by my 1 year bandiversary! But maybe next year I will. Do you exercise everyday? No, not really for I am always to tired... Do you PB alot? Nope not at this time. I had my band drained to make more room for the babies. They must come first. __________________

Beach Bum what part of NC are you from....I am in the Raleigh Area. Who is your doctor. I have Dr. Moran.

Tina I would like to say to you Congrats! Now to get on with my message. You and I are the same. I too am newly banded and two weeks ago I found out that I am pregnant also. I am about 6 weeks and two day along. I am much older than you and I too thought I had PCOS still so we weren't stopping anything from happening. When I told my doctor about this he just told me oh well Shit happens, that is how he ended up with six, then he just laughed. He also told me that I will be just fine with the band and this should help me and you not to gain a lot of extra weight that we don't need. The band will help us control the portions. Just remember this and this came from my OB doctor, the baby is going to get the food that they need first. I had my ultrasound last tuesday and found out that I am having twins. My due date is on Jan. 14th, so I would think yours is about the same time mine is. We gotta stay in touch with each other for we were banded about the same time and now PG and due the about the same time. Best of luck.

I am so happy for you. I am not going to be there this year. I found out that I am pregnant with Twins. So my weight is not going down. I have gain about 2 lbs back so far. I am 2 months or 6 weeks a long.

I was out today shopping for a new dress for a wedding. I went into Macy's and was looking at some dress when I see a dress I really like a lot. The colors where great looking on me but here is the biggest news that I just gotta tell some one. I tried on a 20 thinking this was the size I was in but nope so I went down to an 18 and this one was too big as well. So my mom got the same dress in an 16 and it fit! I just could not believe that a 16 actually fit me. I was so happy that I started to dance right in the dressing room. I have not seen this size since my youngest daughter was born in 1986. Yep that is right 1986 over 20 years ago. :tt2: I just had to tell someone else besides my mom and DH. He also said I am looking so good and keep it up.

Thank you Glenda. We need it.

Thank you to everyone. I am going to need all the prayers to make sure the baby is healthy always. I am due on 1/1/2010. This would have been my one year anniversity with the band. So I will be celebrating something new altogether. I will be watching my diet and continuing my excerise program just not as much. Thank you so much Linda for the wonderful news to help me to relax. Thank you all. I will try not to worry and keep my head up that this will be healthy for I am healthier than ever.

I geuss we are the same. Loss the weight which not much only 50 lbs because newly banded. And gain the baby. I found out today that I am seven weeks along and not 5 to 6 as I thought. Boy that is a bid difference. Congrats to all.

I am too. I was banded on 1/8/09 and 46 years old. I am due with my third in the middle of December. I will know the exact date next month after my first ultrasound. Congrats everyone.

I forgot to tell you Congrats on the new bundle of joy. I am so happy for you as well. YOu must keep us posted.

Boy the timing of this post is great! I would like to thank you for posting this here for me to find. I too just newly banded and found out I am pregnant as well. I was banded on January 8th, 2009. I am thinking I am about 5 to 6 weeks along. I am also 46 years of age. So now you now why I am thanking you for this. I am so worried and scard for I just started this weight loss program and afraid that I will gain the weight back and I don't want to do that if you know what I mean. You have given me so much hope. Again Thank you.

I thought I am to old. Did you have any problems with your age? I am just so confused but yet happy too. I would love to hear more from you on this. I am so scard. I would also like to say thank you to all of you and given me the support on this. I was so worried because my doctor really did not want this to happen so fast but he said to me that is how he had six, you know s--t happens sometimes. And that was he exact words to after he laughed and give me a big huge.

Well I have some news....I am going to have a baby, after the lapband and losing about 50lbs. My body decided that I need a baby......Oh boy! Here I am at 46 and starting my life all over with a small little one. My DH is so happy that we are going to have a bundle of joy. I talked my to doctor about this and my weight loss program and what is it doing to do with the issue, he said we will start at the beginning after the baby is born and I should not gain a lot of weight back. I will gain some but not a lot if I watch what I eat.

Yes congrats on the onerland. I hope to be there soon. I have about 10 lbs more to go. Maybe by next month I will be there too! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! We all are doing so well.

I have to say it was wonderful and I am so happy. Just like everyone else. Congrats to everyone! and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all the mothers out there, hope everyone got what they wanted. I know I did!

My fills are going just fine as well. I have gotten three fills so far and on the last time I too was great for one week and then nothing. I go back next week for fill number four. I think I am up to like 6cc now in a size 12 band. I have not had any trouble with any of my fills so far. I hope this continues and maybe have more restricion then just the one week.

Wow! You guys are amazing. I have a NSV also. That is my wedding rings are to big also. Plus I am now wearing smaller clothes, I was wearing a size 24 and now I am at an 18 and they are getting big on me now. I am looking at going to an 16 soon. Keep it up January Hotties, we are doing great. Oh yea I almost forgot one thing. My Doctor told me that I am no longer need any more medicines for my sugar. That was the greatest news I had so far.

I too was worried about if this would fail me too. But it isn't so far. I feel real good, just like I did before. I am getting my third full in two weeks also. I have lost about 40 lbs now. No where near my first goal of being in onederland like you but one day I will get there, I hope. I have not updated my ticker as of yet but will soon.

When is your first fill. My first fill is 2/17. I am getting worried about it. Has anyone have their fill yet? How is it? Did it hurt?

I am have the same problem as you. If I eat to fast now I get this feel of food being stuck and start to hurt in the chest area. I also have some restriction becuse of this and only able to eat about 1/2 to 1 cup at a meal. I know I will need a little more in the band but I feel I am very close to that sweet spot. Keep it up everyone. We are all doing so well.:ohmy:

Way to Go GlenSand! I am very happy for you . I am still trying to get up to 20 minutes on my elliptical machine. If we all get this up we should be very skinny by our bandversity. :sneaky:

Just thought I let you all know, I just got my second fill today. I received .75cc. I hope I can have more restruction this time around. The doctors are very happy with my progress. I have lost 40 lbs in little as 9 weeks.

Ok, I am looking at this March exercise challenge. I am going to challenge myself to work out in the elipical for 30 mins by the end of March. You see I have tried to use this machine but only can work on it for about 5 mins. if I am lucky. :wink: Would anyone else like to join in?

Thank you both! You guys are doing great also. Voiceomt2002 I don't have legs of steel they hurt when I get done and very weak but I am tring to keep this up. I have a goal I would love to reach before the end of the year. Or until my daughter gets married.

Congrats! I am so happy for you. Keep it up. I am now up to 12 minutes on the elipical but I have a way to go to get to 30 minutes on this machine. :w00t:
