First fill post-baby?

Hi All,

I posted this on the Pregnancy after WLS board but I thought I might get some responses here as well.

I am expecting my twin boys in the next 6 weeks or so (yeah!) and I can't wait to exercise and get back on track with my band again. I was completely unfilled because the surgeon didn't want to take any chance since there are 2 babies. 

I am just wondering, for those that were unfilled (partially or completely) during pregnancy, how long did you wait post-partum before you got a fill?

Thanks!
Jaime

My hubby and I are trying for our 1st but I work with Bariatric Surgeons and they told me if I breast feed, they would prefer me to wait on getting refilled.  If I decided that I don't want to breast feed or I can't breast feed, they would fill me as soon as my OB/GYN clears me to return to normal activity.

TWINS!!!!  So excited for you!
Good luck with everything and take it easy!

all the weight has been lost post-op..I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

highest weight: 333 pounds (I know I gained after my last "weigh in" in the doctors office so probably it's more like 340 pounds)
current weight: 151 pounds (7/12/11)
I've been at goal (165 pounds) for 6 months now and now on maintence.  I tend to go up and down depending on time of the month and such!
