Hello everyone! I am sort of new around here. I have been on the site for about 2 years but never actually posted anything until now. I had the lapband surgery in Oct 2010 and have been very successful with it. I wrote all about it in my story on my profile, not sure if you can see it or not someone will have to tell me if you can or not. I also have an album I uploaded with pictures of before/during/after pictures but I do have that set to friends only so you will have to become a friend to access them. Anyway, I lost a total of 168 lbs after only a year and 3 months. I got down about 20 lbs less than my goal weight and was maintaining that weight very well. It wasn't until this past May that I went in and had some of my fill taken out so I could gain some weight back and get my body ready for pregnancy. I had half of the fluid taken out and sometimes I think it might have been a little much because after 3 months I had gained back 30 lbs! I let myself go crazy eating the things that I hadn't been able to and I know I shouldn't have but I did
Oh well! In August I found out I was finally pregnant! I am now 20 weeks along and couldn't be happier. I have only gained 10 lbs since then and everything is looking good. I am very nervous about when the baby gets bigger because I have a very short torso and with my first baby she was crammed up into my ribs so I am worried that this baby will be as well and that my port and everything else might get in the way. I have been looking at some of the posts on here about people that have been pregnant or are pregnant and luckily most of them have only complained about port pain so I am feeling a little better about it but still worried. If anyone could share their story with pregnancy that would be great! I am going to stop rambling now. Thank you ahead of time to anyone who replies in anyway to this post!
