Hi Ladies! Just checkin in - its been a while. Pregnancy is going fine, 26 weeks now. I have gained 21 lbs total with my fill completetly undone. Baby is great, its a boy - very excited! Hope teh rest of you are doing as well. Take care!

Hi All, Just checking in, I am now 17 weeks and have only gained 8 lbs!! YIPPY!! I have been really scared about gaining especially with the unfill. Doing well except I feel like my port is the size of my baby! LOL! Take care everyone!

Thanks for the words of encouragement! :whoo:

Doing ok. Got a complete unfill, waiting to see how much weight I gain! I have an appointment Thusday with OBGYN. Everything is great - end of 11th week! bexleygal - we are only about a week apart! Take care mommies!

Hi All, I am 11 weeks along. We are very happy. I had a complete unfill (really didnt want it). Dr. said no choice, he didnt want to worrie about low birth weight of not enough nutrition. I hope I dont gain too much!! Good luck to all!

Thank you for your in-site. I have kept a journal and do seem to be eating enough. That was a great idea!

Thank you for your insite and congrats! I have the same Dr as last time - he is great! SO far he is more excided that I have the band. I think I am getting enough nutrition so far so I am filling great! I will keep you all posted!

Thank you all so very much. I dont have morning sickness yet...I didnt with the first (non-band baby). I am a required cs so the take the baby early. I have been eating very well, but definetly think I will try the journal to see what I really eat in a day. I will keep you all posted - so far so good!

Hi All, Well only 8 months and I managed to get knocked up! We are very happy! I am just cncerned with the band and all. My OBGYN sees no problem, the LapBand nurse wants to take out the fills. I feel as if I di eat enough and am taking my pre-natals. Please give me any advice as I am in desperate need. I have had NO complications and done very well. Lost 75 lbs in the past 8 months. I LOVE MY BAND! :help:

I was not told to do that - I can tell you however if I do eat bread, rice or Pasta I am full in 2 bites. I have been very sucessful and havent missed the carbs. I still have everything I want besides those three things...best of luck to you!

I am so happy that I am now in a 18 - would love to see what you have! In addition I have great Jones NY Suites in a 24 if anyone is interested.

Congrats! :clap2: I knwo how you feel! I went shopping and went from a solid size 24 to a 18/20! I have lost 28 ibs. What a diffence.

Hi Merideth! Welcome! I was banded on the 14th - doing great so far.

Thank you so very much! I will more then likley take you up on that! I feel as if I have already put my new "me" aside and it hasent even been a week! I cant focus!

Thanks for letting me know its normal! I was wondering what I did!?

Thanks! You have no idea what your comment means to me!

Hi All, I was banded on 11/14! yippy almost a week ago. I have begun mushies, however my chest hurts when I have to breath in deep - no slimy, no other pain. Is this a sign of something? I also just fond out my father has cancer and not sure it has something to do with that. Thanks for your thoughts! :help:

Thanks Kristi, I didnt think it was sliming...

I think this may be a great iea. Maybe we can get this going. I am in 22's now - but hopefully will be out soon! i have several suits and many casual clothes. I will try to get a few pics on here!

:help: Hi All! Well I had my surgery last week and doing great! So very excited! One question. First I have been pretty good for my liquid/mushies diet. My only concern is that sometimes (not just after food) i get saliva bubbles in my mout, not enough to make me spiy, but enough to bug! Any insite to this? It in my mind? Am I doing something wrong?? Please help! Thanks!

Hi Vicki, Yes, my Dr. has expressed that several GBP patients have now come for this. You will be amazed!

Try www.obandcenters.com they just moved to the OC - al little drive but maybe worth it if there is no one in SD.

I just had surgery yesterday and I fell like its sticking out.

Where are you having it done? It will be great! We are almost teh same weight! Best luck!:clap2:

Well I had my surgery yesterday. I coulnt have asked for anything better. I was in at 7 and out by 1. A liitle gas pain in my sholder - used heating pad and walked - fixed it right up. I got 4 incisions, one in my bellybotton which you cant see. Not bad. A little sore today, like someone punched me. I had lost 14 lbs pre-op - biggest loser of he day :clap2: I am going to have my dh take photos tonight and post them. I think they look great! Best of luck to all who follow! Amy 277/263/148
