pregnant and considering banding

Hi guys! My name is Amanda. I have been considering banding for almost a year now, but I got pregnant:biggrin1: ! Anyway, I am due in July and will probably start the process after that. Does anyone know how long you have to wait to have the procedure after you have a baby?

    Hey Amanda,

    I read that after you have a baby you should wait six weeks for a fill. Maybe this is also true to begin the procedure, provided you are not breast feeding.

    I had a peanut back in Dec and am being Banded in May... while BFing... sooo the only thing I am worried about is pumping in the hospital and will most likely have Ms Amelia stay in the room with me so that I can BF her at night.

    I am currently pregnant and due in February. I was told 6 weeks. I have my first consultation with the Doc at the end of March. I cannot wait!

    Good luck! At least you know that if you get a little depression there is a light in the tunnel. You can lose the baby fat soon.
