  1. Happy 25th Birthday sweetkissez42061!

  2. 2 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 2nd Anniversary sweetkissez42061!

  3. I ended up never getting unfilled. It was a little tough but I was minus 13 pounds when I delivered!!! I gained 40 breastfeeding though. ICK! I was being bad though.. went off the diet. I Was filled again april 6th and am down a little over 20 pounds. Im getting discouraged but I have to keep reminding myself I just had a baby 9 months ago.. it takes time!!!
  4. Im filled to 3 MLs my dr said there was no reason to take it out. Im 26 weeks preggo now and having problems with it though.. probably getting the rest of my band unfilled next week :_
  5. my dr wont unfill me.. he refuses. I want it unfilled because I am CONSTANTLY weak and dizzy. The baby is litterally taking everything I have! Its hard for me to stay awake at times! I can't take prenatals becasue dr. said they will get stuck. Im only filled 3 CC's. I have to take gummy vitamens and I feel like they do nothing for me!! If your dr. will allow.. get an unfill!!!!! Ive lost 20 pounds ince being prego but have gained 5 back so far. oh and Im 21 weeks now..
  6. My Dr. told me one year. Hes upset that I got pregnant 4 months later but only because he says you lose the most weight your first year. I will get back on track as soon as my baby is born!

    Banded - so now what!

    My best friend was banded in 2007.. Shes down to 150 from 268. Even now she continues to batttle head hunger. Obesity is a disease.. the band doesnt cure it. Things will however get easier. And once you get your fill you can eat the things you crave.. Just in SMALL quantities. And if you feel your going to overeat.. use smaller plates..smaller bowls.. take SMALL bites.. put your fork down inbetween bites. It takes your brain 20 mins to process that your full. I sometimes will use my sons baby spoons to eat with.. it actually REALLY helps@!
  8. Okay everyone.. We all know when your pregnant you have cravings. Ive been REALLY bad:blushing:. I eat healthy most of the time.. but sometimes I eat things we arent supposed to such as breads and pastas.. Since I was 10 weeks preggo Ive had the feeling of a constant lump in my throat (I thought it was stress/aniexty). Some days I have it.. and some days I don't. I finally talked to my OB about it and she tested my thryoid.. which was fine (shes sending me to a specialist after the baby is born). A friend of mine also has LAP-BAND®® and she mentioned Ive probably stretched my pouch bc I can eat SOO much more then what I used to. Like tonight for instance.. I made an omlet with veggies in it.. I used 3 eggs to make the omlet.. I was able to get down about 3/4 of it! I KNOW thats to much! I only had the band about 4 months before I found out I was pregnant.. So my fill was only at a 3 which my Dr. refers to as a "prime". He didn't want to unfill me bc he wanted me to continue to lose or just stay the same. So far Ive gained about 4 pounds..and thats within the last 3 weeks. Anyone have any insight on this problem or am I just being paranoid?!?! Thanks in advance!!
  9. Im 20 weeks.. Some days I can eat normal and some days my band feels really tight. I have no clue why

    Totally disgusted

    Im not losing much.. some days I weigh five pounds more..some days I weigh less. But im realizing my clothes are getting to big.. my guess is maybe we are losing inches? not pounds. Keep your head up.

    Hic-ups/burping

    hiccups and burping will NEVER go away!!! Im 3 months out and STILL have it anytime I eat or drink. My bestfriend also has lapband and shes out 3 years and still has it as well.
