I had my band put in feb 2005. I lost 85 pounds and last december found out I was pregnant. I am writting to let everyone know that this pregnancy has been great.... I have not gained additional weight, which last time gained 75 pounds. This pregnancy I make better food choices most of the time. I have no complications and I have not had to take any fluid out of my band. I see both of my docotors on a regular basis who monitor me probably more than a regular pregnancy. All iin all y band has been a great tool and I love it. I have 9 weeks left and know this was a great journey.

What great news! Congratulations! You have done fantastic!

Do you know what the baby is yet?

I bet you look adorable and happy.

the baby is going to be a surprise... the first time we found out and it was a boy. this time, we figure, last baby so why not have something that is truely a surprise.

I hardly look pregnant at 260, I just have a extra roll... but this baby is a mover..

Congratulations. I am so glad everything is going well for you. Let us know how things go when you are able.

It is SO great to hear that... My biggest worry about getting pregnant again is that I will gain 100 lbs!

Best wishes to you!

I'm in shock. That is just blowing my mind. You are pregnant and haven't gained weight. That is the coolest thing I've heard since cloning was successful.

Congratulations mothers-to-be. That's truly inspiring to me. (though I am done with child bearing). You guys are doing so great!

Awesome!!

Has the port stuck out more?

Congrats Heather. It's so nice to hear from a preg. bandster. I'm happy to hear that you are not having any issues. There have been a few threads lately asking about pregnancy and the band. I really feel that there should be a sticky on that topic. It comes up so often.

Any how. good luck, I hope this summer hasn't been too uncomfortable for you.

Great to hear all we wonderful with your pregnancy. I was banded two months ago. I am definately not ready to be pregnant but think we might be in a year or so. My Dr. said to wait at least a year & a half for everything to be secure in there, so my port does not move. Did your Dr. give you any advice on getting pregnant, did you have to wait? Thanks for the advice! Hope all continues to go well for you & your family! Let us know what you have & what you name him or her! All the best...Cookgal

Congratulations!!

I hope to get pregnant at the beginning of next year. :biggrin1:

Fantastic news! And its wonderful to end a pregnancy feeling good about yourself, that glow lasts for weeks until the real sleep deprivation kicks in!

Did you have to go get you lap band adjusted when you got pregnant?

I have no complications and I have not had to take any Fluid out of my band

That is awesome!

I want to have a baby and last time I had one I weighed 307 when I got preg and 315 when I delivered he weighed 9 14 go figure but I never lost an ounce after I left the hospital 2 days after a c-section at 315 you said that you were 7 months and 265 my docotor wants me to be under 250 do you feel good with this pregnancy?? do you think that the weight you are is good?? Thanks

I am 6 weeks pregnant and I weigh 223. I have lost 60 lbs. in 8 months. I found out that I was pregnant the same day I was getting a fill. I had 7.8cc. in my band and they went down to 3cc. I have been watching what I eat for the past two weeks because I don't have restriction and I want my baby to get healthy nutrients. I also don't want to gain a ton of weight because I am already 223.
