Hi guys its been awhile since i posted

well its been a whole year since i was banded i cant believe that the time has flown by although its been slow going sometimes with weight loss losing little by little is better that putting it on...

i have not long found out im 8 weeks pregnant just when you get to know all you can know about the band and feel confident that every thing is normal. i fall pregnant and now have to learn about pregnancy and the band although i am very very excited im a little scared 2.. i am lucky to have a great GP who has treated another woman that has had the band and been pregnant so im happy that she knows exactly what im going through..:w00t:

well guys thanks for reading this and hope you all have a great journey and success like i am so far having.

Congrats on the baby! I was banded in 2002 and had my daughter in 2006 so I can relate. I was afraid that I would have to empty my band to get the baby enough food to thrive. I had not had a fill in my band for 5 years, and only had around 2.3cc (out of 4cc) in it when I was pregnant, and luckily I did not have to have any saline removed at all. I only gained 10 lbs. during the preganancy and lost an additional 10lbs. I had a healthy 7 lb baby girl and no side effects to either of us with regards to the band. Good Luck!
