I to have an empty band and I'm 14 weeks pregnant. This is my first successful pregnancy. I have gained 3 pounds. So a little under a pound a month since becoming pregnant.

Just continue to eat small healthy meals often and enjoy your pregnancy :)... I look at it this way I hope to not gain more then 15 to 20 pounds but even if I gain 75 once the baby is here ill go get a fill and start losin!!

I'm 16 weeks and gained 2 lbs so far. I never had my first fill because I got pregnant one month after the band was put in. I see myself starting to eat all sorts of stuff I'm not supposed to like bread, Pasta, and M&M's. This is my 3rd and last pregnant so I'm going to enjoy it! After I give birth I will get a fill and start losing again. I initially lost 30lbs, I'm hoping to gain less than that during thd pregnancy.

Enjoy your pregnancy!!!!

I am now 8.5 weeks. The port pain went away not sure what caused it? I haven't had any Fluid removed, I have 6cc in currently, however I am still able to eat. I lost a pound so far :) I'm hoping not to gain more than 11 lbs. once I'm past my first trimester I am back to hitting the gym! I can't wait!!

I recently gave birth to twins (9/18/12). I had my band emptied at 24 weeks and I had gained 20 lbs at that point, but my band was getting more restrictive. I weighed 240 lbs when I gave birth...so I gained 70lbs during my pregnancy. I am now 222 pounds and just had my band adjusted to 4cc. I can't believe I lost so much control and gained so much. It makes me angry that I have to start this journey over again. I know if I did it once, I can do it again...I can loose 50 lbs by March!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
