    I'm 8 weeks pregnant and will be attempting a VBAC. I'm going with a Midwife though. They said the band is not a problem same risks as without. I"m hoping for the best! Good luck!

  3. is anyone noticeing your weight loss?

    Elliottsmama posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    So i'm losing SLOWly...but i've lost 25lbs since August and almost two full pant sizes. Yesterday I went to a halloween party for my mommy group and I was so sad that not one mom noticed. I haven't seen them since right before surgery so I really hoping for a comment or two. But ...nothing :thumbup: How long was it before people noticed your weight loss. I mean it's only 25 lbs so i guess it makes sense Maybe soon...

  4. Do I Have a leak? weird port pain :(

    Elliottsmama posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    So I was told my first fill was 3.5 cc (done in the hosp with fluro) When i went back for my second fill she said that she pulled out 2cc (saying that was all that was in there) and put it back plus 1cc bring it 3cc's. Then my third fill she added 1.5 cc's. I didn't ask what pulled out. I had good restriction the first day that I could eat after my fill. NOW...I could eat a house! It's only been an hour since I had Breakfast and i'm hungry! ARGH...i'm getting sooo frustrated. I'm eating high Protein, exercising and watching my portions but i'm STILL hungry and not losing! Not to mention i'm drinking a ton to try not to be hungry. I'm worried that the reason I have restriciton and then ...none...is becasue I have a leak. SOMETIMES- my port feels very close to the top of my skin and hurts too which i've been concerned about. My doctor says that can happen. ARGH! i'm getting very frustrated! just saying....:laugh:
