Just found out im 6weeks!

I had my band placed in 2011 and I was 287 at the time. My highest weight was 323. I've made it down to 189 and now I'm having a baby!! Hooray but nervous about my port looking funny on my preggo tummy and about gaining too much weight. Did anyone have trouble with the port or binge eating while pregnant?

Congrats!!! Don't worry, you've been banded long enough to where you THINK you might want (or are) binge eating and you're really not. Just remember, you only need about 200-300 extra calories a day for baby, BUT don't try to diet or hold back on eating, just remember, moderation is key :) I'm 36wks pregnant and my port sticks out like a turkey timer, but it will go back after baby. So don't stress if one day it starts to hurt or "looks funny", its totally normal :) And no, baby will not tear it off the muscle wall, it might flip on its side, but it wont go anywhere. GOOD LUCK!

You will be fine..5 months had liquid removed all and have only gained 2 pounds and I eat lol but no port problems if that helps you
