I had my surgery August 17, 2011. I started at 217 lbs, tops 2xl and bottoms size 18. 2 months after my surgery I found out I was pregnant. I had lost almost 30 lbs before realizing I was pregnant. At 15 weeks I had all the fluid removed from my band. No complications at all. My band baby was born may 28, 2012. Healthy boy 7 lbs 3 oz. I gained a total of 15 lbs throughout my whole pregnancy. My son is now 9 months old and I am down to 165 lbs. size 9 in jeans and size medium top. Still 25 lbs to goal until my goal weight of 140lbs. No one said it was going to be easy but it is Definately worth it! If I can do it, you can do it! Stay focused and follow the Lapband rules. It will work for u as it has for me! Good luck!
