Banded March 2009 Pregnant Dec 09

Hi I am 27 years old and I was banded in March 09 and I was 314 lbs then I went down to 230 and had two fills then I got pregnant in Dec 09 and no more fills. I have not gotten a unfill because I am scared to do that. Plus my insurance changed and I can no longer go to the same doctor but he said I could pay $100 to get fills done when I am finished with the pregnancy. I went up 249 lbs and now at 7 months I am now btwn 261-263 I flucuate daily. So I awaiting a call back from the doctor when I can go to him after I have the baby is here. I want to breast feed as well. So any advice until I get my phone call. I dont want to get anyway. I cannot wear my size 20 or 22 maybe 24 pants, but mostly I wear Old Navy yoga pants (xxl) and tube dresses (xl).
I am happy since this my second baby but for the first 3 months I was everyday in the bathroom vomitting a couple times of day after that I was good sometimes now its just once a week, but i have kinda give up on eating sometimes since its so much that I cannot handle, especially starch or very concentrated sugar. I drink loads of water but also diet coke/pepsi. I work & go to school and I have an active toddler. Since I live in NY I always walk and live near an elevated train station so I am constantly moving to combat my desk job:thumbdown:
My body is more like a pear and I carrying low just like with my daughter. :sigh:
