Just found out I'm pregnant. I was banded nov 2012 I've lost 36# so far. I want a healthy baby of corse. But it would be a lie if I said I wasn't upset about stalling my weightloss for 10 months. My last pregnancy I gained 50#. I have only had one full so far due to being self pay and was scheduled for my second feel next week. I feel like I really haven't even started this journey. I have had miscarriages and have pcos so of corse I want this baby and healthy at that I just have to vent.

lace, I just wanted to say congrats on pregnancy. I'm not sure what else to say since being a guy I have no idea what you will be going through. lol. I don't know how or if the lap band has any effect on a pregnancy. But I wanted to reach out and say good luck and let you know I'll be wishing you the best! You can always vent. I'll always listen. Best of luck in your journey. Keep us updated.

congrats on the wonderful news.

there is a wonderful lady named katie on youtube (newtoy4kate)..i love this gal...she is banded, lost all her weight and is now pregnant and doing great with her band.

go read/view her story. YOU can do this.

keep your lap band doctor in the know and your baby doctor. and you, again, congrats. def made me smile today.

Good luck!!! One fill is plenty if you are prego now. Hopefully, it will be a small enough amount that you don't swell and have to it taken out! I had 4 cc taken out when I was about 8-10 weeks pregnant due to swelling and being unable to eat (I had 8 cc in total) and after getting a new job and switching insurance, I am also self-paying for fills! (So lame!)

Come here, or message me, or check out baby center.com for support! There is a plus size and pregnant board and while not too many of them have had lap band surgery, its a good place to help cope with being plus size and having your body grow!
