Congratulations on the birth of your daughter!!  Sounds like you did pretty good w/not gaining a lot of weight while pregnant.  I hope the doctor will give you a fill...but I am sure he will know what is best for you right now.  Hang in there and don't get discouraged!  You can do it until the time is right.

Best of luck!

Congrats on your baby girl!  Treasure every minute.  Our youngest is heading off to college in less than 2 weeks.  The time goes by too fast.

I would want an UGI to make sure your band is okay and then proceed slowly.

Take care,
Kristi

I just had my first baby too about 6 months after lapband surgery. I had to get a complete unfill and  gained a majority of it back. After the baby, It gets harder (in my opinion) You don't get the intial jump start with the weight melting off like at first. It's hard to even get motivated.  You have to just dig in and get your head back in the game. Even when you get good motivation to go to the gym, you have to have the baby settled before all else. I guesse I'm just saying the baby takes lots of your time and focus away from yourself, don't get distracted. Oh and being busy with the baby helps forget your hungery too. haha. All and All.. I have restarted my weight loss journey again, very slow, but well worth it.

Congrat on your new addition.
