Hi, all--

I haven't bee active at all here for the past 9 months. I was banded on April 18, 2006, lost over 25lbs, then found out I was pregnant at the end of May: stupid, I know, though I know my littlel Lily is not a mistake.

I'm happy now to say that I'm just over a week away from delivery...

On March 7, 2007, I'm scheudled for MY VERY FIRST FILL AFTER 11 LONG MONTHS...

My question is this: should I request some type of check to see if my band is still in place, not eroding, etc. before I get my fill? I've never had a fill--was just about to get one when I discovered my pregnancy.

Thanks--Dana

First of all CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!

Second: I have no idea, but CONGRATS on your new little belly bean!

Most surgeons won't order band "checks" unless they have reason to believe something is wrong.

Congratulations on your baby to be.

I just wanted to jump in and say congrats on your soon to be new arrival and welcome back!

Thank you all!!! I cannot WAIT to begin joining you all in our weight loss journey....it's been so long--

10 more days to go until Lily Jene comes into the world--then the weight loss begins...

I haven't vomitted/heaved at all during this pregnancy--just mild heartburn, so I hope my band is in place.

I would ask your doctor what he thinks and let him make the call. CONGRATS on your band baby!

I think if he does it under fluro it should show that the band is in place - right?

Everything will be ok. The doctor will take all into account and get you started on the right path.

CONGRADS ON THE NEW BABY!!!!

I sure hope so--never been so ready to get this weight off. I was SO excited about gettting my first fill in May--then the positive pregnancy test.

Don't get me wrong--thrilled about my little girl coming--but also ready for the weight loss.
