  1. It took me a little while to get pregnant after the lapband, although we were using fertility medication. After the pill it can take a little time anyway. I have heard most drs mention that if your not pregnant within 12 months to seek assistance.
  2. Congratulations! I am 6 weeks 2 days at the moment with baby #3 thanks to the lapband, also losing weight which is different as I previously gained alot.

  4. I gained all of my weight back during both of my pregnancies due to having my Fluid out. Boy was it hard to lose it the second time around compared to losing before ever having children. I would consider having a small fill, especially if your hungry and not satisfied with a smaller portion. This pregnancy I am attempting to keep my fluid in and not gain as much as previously.
  5. I have 6 weeks 2 days with our third baby. With my first pregnancies (2) I had terrible morning sickness which prompted me to have my Fluid removed. I put on a lot of my weight in this time Once again, I have terrible morning sickness. Perhaps worse than before but I am keeping my fluid in until the 3rd trimester. My lap band specialist mentioned there wasn't any reason it couldn't remain restricted providing that I was able to nourish myself and my baby's needs.
