HI there, just wanted to say a quick hi, I was banded 2006 but currently not using my band much as a losing weight tool, I have just found out I am pregnant, can I ask if it gets too uncomfortable with the port the bigger you get? I will watch this thread too, hope you get some answers, good luck and congrats of course!

My port doesn't really hurt, it's just kinda sore as I've been getting bigger. The only port issue I've had was when the baby kicked me right on my port, though I was going to cry!! Good Luck!!

Wow, I haven't been here in a long time. I was banded Feb 2009 and a year later (almost to the day) I will have a baby!!! I'm really nervous about the c-section, I only have 3 weeks as of Wednesday!

If you have already had both, how do they compare?

When I went in for my unfill the nurses told me that I could get a fill when I was done breast feeding. I had issues getting everything in for a daily balanced diet.

We are all thinking about you ejmdeva!! Wishing you bunches of luck.

I got a complete unfill at 7 weeks. I couldn't get everything in I needed.

nervous!! Before I was banded, I was diabetic and off of insulin 1 week after surgery! Now my sugars are on the rise and they want me on some meds. I'm getting an unfill so i can get all the nutrition in that I need. I'm really nervous about the unfill because I don't want to gain a ton of weight!!!

Good Luck to all of you who have up coming surgeries.

I had my first ultrasound today! The tech said that everything looked good and healthy. But she pushed my EDD to March 10th or 13th, I can't remember. Hearing the heartbeat made all of this really real.

Thank you gone4ever. I am happy about this newer addition to my tribe.

I will start pre-natal Vitamins today and came to a dilemna....I don't do pills well since being lapbanded and was wondering is there any other way I can consume them? I can crush them but that would be insane to crush them daily but...is there a liquid pre-natal?

HI Telly, My OB gave me a prescription for a chewable prenatal. It doesn't take good at all so I take it with a cracker to mask the taste. It's called Prenatal 19 Chewable.

I'm thinking I'm going to need a slight unfill. I just can't get all the food I need in nutritionally. It's hard.

Congrats to all!!! My we all have healthy and happy babies!!!

yes, my EDD is March 4, 2010. God, that seems so far away!

I've posted on this link in the past. And I'm excited to say that I am finally pregnant! After 2 years of trying. I'm excited, scared, nervous, and about a million of other emotions. I'm not very far along, so I really really hope that the baby will stick and keep growing.

I'm excited, and nervous. I'm going to the Dr. for my yearly appointment. I hope the Dr. will tell me that everything to going great and the pregnancy looks good. However this is not my first prenatal appointment. I hope I can still get some questions answered though.

Congrats Tink! We are preggo twins. I just got a BFP this morning (which gives me a March due date too) and I am excited beyond belief.

I am also a little scared of miscarriage (which is the downside of knowing this early) but I just have to hope everything will be okay. We went through a lot to get to this point, so I'm VERY protective of this pregnancy already.

Good luck Dewl! Your time is coming soon just keep up the good work (in bed-LOL)!

I'm a lot scared of a miscarriage. I'm off of work for the summer, so I'm really taking it easy and trying like hell to keep the baby safe inside and growing.

Happy to be joining you guys. I just found out that I'm pregnant too!! I keep praying that everything will go smoothly and in 8 months we will have a healthy baby.

Good Luck dewl!

I'm due in the beginning of March. I'm going to the Dr. next Tue. so hopefully will get some more info. then.

I am sooooo happy to join this thread! This past Thursday DH and I found out that we are pregnant! I'm so excited, and scared all at the same time, it's really weird.

I am in the same boat as you anabeni. I'm at 201-204 on any given day. I'm having a hard time with taking small bites and food gets stuck like once a week. I'm scared to get a fill because of the feed back.

I had my surgery Feb. 10th 2009. I was off of all meds for diabetes. I had my first fill at 8 weeks.

GOOD NEWS!!! I just had my 3 month follow up appointment. My HA1C is 5.8 without any meds for this at all!!! I'm soooo happy!!!

I was banded 2-10-09 and had type 2 diabetes. Taking 5 shots a day. Just one week after surgery I was off all meds!

Wow!! I haven't been on lapband talk for a long time. I had surgery 2-11-09. I'm trying to get to the 50 pound mark, but just hover around 45 mark. I just want to be below 200 again!!! I feel like it's never going to happen.

Today I went out to lunch with some co-workers and the food got stuck and after 20 minutes of agonizing pain I finally threw up, twice!!! I was concerned that my first fill was too much, but when I called the Dr. office they asked me some questions and we came to the conclusion that I may have eaten too fast. Hopefully that is the case and it doesn't happen again.

Things are going okay for me. I haven't gotten my first fill due to a up coming vacation. I'm getting really frustrated. I feel like I've hit a wall. At night, I feel as if I could eat the house! I don't know whats wrong. Hopefully, it will get better with the fills.
