Dont be nervous!! Be excited I got pregnant 8 months post band and was about 65lbs down. I am currently 19wks and so far my pregnancy has been going well.
The first trimester was a little rough because I had some pretty bad morning sickness, and my band decided to get a death grip on my stomach which made the vomiting that much worse, so at 11wks I had 1.6cc's of Fluid removed and I have been doing muuuch better. I had lost almost 10lbs due to being sick and have gained 6lbs back so far, so Ive pretty much "broke even" so far.
As for my port area, my son is transverse right now and his head is right there, so he likes to headbutt it from time to time, it doesnt hurt, but feels a little weird. I will say because of my port being flipped and angled, mine sticks out like a turkey timer LOL. However everyone is different so its going to vary from one person to another.
Good luck to you and I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Please don't be so discouraged, I am 28 weeks and was down 60 pounds, and have only put on 15 or so pounds. I didnt get my fill totally removed until around 11 weeks, I just wasnt hungry, and the Dr's were worried that I wasnt getting enough nutrition. Just follow the rules, dont go crazy with sweets and drink lots of Water. I promise this too shall pass, you have made huge strides since surgery, so there is no reason to be upset. keep up the great work, eat sensibly and you will do great! keep us posted!
I also wanted to say, the port reallly just started bothering me today, just a little sore, I have been doing a lot of pushing and pulling though. it does feel funny though b/c there is not so much padding around it, dont worry it doesnt stick out. I have a 4 yr old son and carried him totally different, but this one is a girl, so i really do not look pregnant from the front or back, only from the side. I was huge all over with my son. it probably depends more which sex you are carrying, than anything to do with the band, in my opinion.
