Hi everyone! I am soo excited! It's been a 1 year and 2 months after my lapband surgery and now I'm prego!!!! My husband and I have been trying for a VERY long time! I mean LONG time. This baby is Miracle baby.

I recently took out all the fluids out of my band. I had 9cc. It felt so wired to eat all my food. Lol

I am 9 weeks and didn't even know lol I just found out last week.

What advise would you give?? I'm a 1st time mommy thank u for any positive comments

First off Congrats!!! I was banded 8/20/10 lost 60lbs then got pregnant!! It is so exciting and amazing!! I tried my best to stick to a healthy diet and limited my intake and was able to only gain 25 lbs although my baby is 8months now and i am nursing and i think everyone telling me nursing would make me lose weight got to my head bc i am almost back to pre op weight!! Ugh so frustrated i am getting fills again starting Monday and i cant wait although i am terrified it will effect my milk supply :/ also I've gotten so used to my old eating habits it's gonna be hard to change...so when I think about it i just tell myself next time around stick to my usual diet and don't go off track (unless you get a craving of course!! ;) )

I to am preggers with an empty band! 14 weeks and 5 days. I've gained 3 pounds so far.

I've been banded for almost 5 years but I've had a lot of complications that ended up with me losing and gaininh the same 50 pounds three times but over all I've lost around 130 lbs and 60 of it was over the summer right before I got pregnant which I assumed helped.

We were not trying but found out on our anniversary that we were expecting :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
