Wanted to introduce myself.........new to the group. I am 30 and have been banded since 12/06 but lost 43 pounds then got pregnant. My baby is 6 weeks old and I just got my fill today. I have 3.2 cc's in my band so I should have good restriction once I get off liquids. Ready to continue my weightloss journey. I wanted to find a group that can help keep me motivated!!!!!

Welcome and Congratulations!

Congratulations on the your new bundle of joy. I have not been banded yet and I was wondering how your pregnancy was with the band? I have a son . We would like to have another children. But I've put on too much weight and I was on bed rest with my son. So now I'm waiting for April 22, my surgery date. Good for you on your weight loss. Try to get some sleep:) - Kathleen

katkeen- my pregnancy was band wise was uneventfull. I had my band unfilled to 2.2 cc's from 3.7 cc's due to vominitting in the first trimester. My moringing sickness was pretty bad but after I got past that I was fine. Kept my fill down to 2.2 until yesterday. I gained alot so know just trying to get bakc to were i was. Once you get banded and lose some weight AND get pregnant...you will be fine. ANy other questions I will be glad to answer for you!!!!!!

The only thing I have heard is you must wait a year. Safety for you and the baby. I am looking forward to getting this weight off and having a thin pregnancy.

Hi Bexleygal, Thanks for the info. I wish you all the luck in the world in your weight loss journey and lot of happiness and joy to you and your family! - Kathleen

Hi Starbux Queen, One doctor told me to wait at least 6 months and other told me to wait at least 12 months the more weight you lose the better the pregnancy. - My Ob Gyn is totally supportive.... Thank goodness and I have not been banded yet and I see that you have d lost 21 lbs. Good for you that is awesome. How are you feeling so soon after your surgery? I hope your feeling well and have continued success obtaining your weight loss goals and goals of a thin pregnancy.- I'm there with ya!!!! I still can's get over the fact in 2 weeks, I'll be getting my band.... Take care, Kathleen
