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!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
