Hey everyone! I'm 25 weeks pregnant and I haven't had to get my band emptied... I have gained a normal amount of weight and all, but I was wondering if anybody else went through a pregnancy without having their band emptied?? Is it dangerous?? My doctor said as long as its not bothering me that I should be fine, but I'm really paranoid! The baby is healthy and the pregnancy is progressing normally, except that I have gestational diabetes again, so I didn't want to get any of the fluid taken out.. it took me awhile to get to the level I'm at and I didnt want to start all over again unless it was neccesary(sp?).  The only thing that is bothering me is that sometimes I feel a little pressure and sometimes tiny pains in my incisions. I'm a little paranoid. Is it something serious or is it just because the baby is kicking me there???? I'm just curious!! Also, how long after I have the baby til I can get another fill?? I lost 40 lbs since I've had the operation but I've gained back about 14 lbs since the pregnancy, and I still have another 12 weeks to go til my c-section!! I want to at least get down to 150 lbs. That's my goal!!! Any feedback would be very helpful!!!!! Thank you :)

there is a pregnancy board forum you should ask over there they probably can answer more of your questions
