Hi fellow bansters!

I am 33 and just found out that I am pregnant for the first time with twins...and scared half to death!

Will the port site hurt as my abdomen becomes larger? I am really afraid of this. I am a year out so I waited the suggested time but non-the-less, I wasn't trying and was actually pretty shocked when I found out I was pregnant.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hi and congratulations!!

I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant with my first. I have had very mild port pain earlier in the pregnancy (i cant exactly remember when - probably at around 20 weeks). It wasnt so much painful as it was a bit uncomfortable. But it only lasted for a short while. Now that i am in my third trimester i have had no problems with the port whatsoever. A few midwife's have felt the port and thought it was baby's foot, LOL!

Goodluck and dont be scared! I'm sure you will be just fine.

Isn't it amazing how our bodies just LOVE to ovulate once we lose weight. My friend who thought she was infertile (had to take drugs for her first two pregnancies) became pregnant 6 months after being banded. Her twins from her second pregnancy will turn 2 years old three months after this one is born! Her port site doesn't hurt and she just had an unfill at 4 months so she could eat a little more. Good luck!

i agree crztrchr - i fell pregnant 8 months after being banded (unexpectedly) and a colleague of mine fell pregnant only a short few months after being banded and she had been TTC for a long time. So many bandsters seem to have fallen pregnant without even trying:P

Hi Newme! Congratulations! I know exactly how you feel! I am almost 16 weeks pregnant with TWINS!!!! Never in my life did I think i'd be having twins. I was banded may of 08 and found out may 0f 09 that i was pregnant. Just this last week i started feeling a little discomfort at my port site. It's nothing bad but just a little uncomfortable like a mild burning. But it's usually short lived. I hope it doesn't get worse. I am concerned about how big my belly is going to get with twins and how the port is going to do. I've had 2 port revisions so i'm a little nervous about it. Let's keep in touch!

Lol! That's so funny! I'll be interested to see how our pregnancies are alike or different. I just got back from my ob today and all was well. It was still too early to tell their sexes but we'll try again in 2 weeks! they were very active today.

Two girls! That is so great! My husband wanted a boy too because he is the last Starr, but I made him promise what we get is what we get, after I found out we were having twins. After all, he picked the sex really... I just gave him two chances! Do you know if you twins are monozygotic or dizygotic? Mine are likely dizygotic/fraternal.

HEHEHE about twins. They sound so cute and they're lovely to look at. But I gotta say, after being a new mom for almost 4 months now, I think twins are something people who aren't moms hope for.

I...could...not...imagine.

I was secretly hoping I would have twins, now I know.. God knew better!

But how exciting for you, twice the snuggles and cuddles! It would be neat since they are fraternal to have one boy and one girl!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
