Well since it's been two years now since my surgery, and with the recent events of the birth of our baby I thought I'd drop a line :)

The pregnancy went fine, had no problems at all. toward the end, she kept kicking my port and / or my uterus was putting pressure on it, so at 38 weeks my OB and I agreed to induce labor early just for comfort.

I am going in May 1st for a fill time to get the weight loss started again.

Here is pictures of our little one, the miracle that would have NEVER happened if it weren't for the lapband!!!!

Thanks for posting. I am 31 and was banded 3/16/07. I have a 21 month old boy and would like to have another baby once I finsh grad school and get my weight off. (Before I turn 35) I hate to ask but how much did you gain. When did you have a unfill? I gained about 40 pounds w/ my baby but I started out at around 195. (not good) 21 months later I still weighed 232. I could not get myself together to lose the weight. I am happy with my decission to have the lap band. I have lost 18 pounds so far. My only concern is how pregency will affect my band. Any more details would be great. Congrats on such a BEAUTIFUL BABY!!!!!What a Joy!!!!!!!!

I gained 50 lbs during my pregnancy, mostly from my eating habits :rolleyes:

I started at 270, (original weight before lapband was 380) I gained the 50 lbs, and have lost about 30 since the baby was born.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
