Hi there Wow I wish I had found this board when i was pregnant because i had so many questions! To answer yours though, I have a beautiful little 5 week old baby girl, Daysie, and I havent had any problems post pregnancy. I was only banded a year when i got pregnant and went in right away to have my band loosened because i couldnt keep anything down. So I spent my pregnancy "half full" 2cc's and was just fine. Towards the end everything was tight though. It was hard to eat a lot because food kept getting stuck. but that was it. Funny thing was though that I remembered my band all of a sudden when i was in labor and started pushing and just had this image that I would explode! luckily I didnt!

Hello I Was Scheduled For Surgury With Dr. Deol And Then Felt Uncomfortable With Some Of Her Business Practices. When I Tried To Talk To Rebecca About My Concerns She Actually Yelled At Me On The Phone And Then Told Me I Wasnt Wanted There. It Was Very Surprising. I Called My Insurance Company To Get To The Bottom Of All Her Fees And They Spent A Great Deal Of Time Helping Me Try To Figure It Out And Then Advised Me Not To Use Her. I Then Got A List Of Other Surgeons (i Interviewed Them All) And Several Of Them Do Not Charge One Penny More Than The Insurance Covers. The Only Money I Paid Out Of Pocket To Anyone (besides Bcbs Co-pays) Was The Consult Fee To Dr. Deol Which I Deeply Regret. The Bottom Line With This Is Your Dr And You Have To Have A Long Term Relationship And You Have To Be Comfortable With Them~ I Was Not With Dr. Deol.
