Im about 3 weeks pregnant and ecstatic!!!
Well I just found out two days ago that I am pregnant. This is such great news because since having my first daughter 5 years ago, i have been ready to have another. Luckily I was able to fight the urge while newly banded and now i just couldnt be happier.
So i need any and all advice from my fellow banders.
Did you get an unfill? How many calories do you eat a day to stay healthy for you and the baby? Any problems or complications? Just anything you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated.
How much weight did you gain?
I was 332 lbs when i had my surgery and now i am 216 lbs.

I have lost 112lbs since my surgery in November of 2007. Ready for a baby now.
Congrats! I have one band baby and am currently 8 weeks pregnant with my second.
I didn't have an unfill with my first pregnancy (don't plan to with the pregnancy either). You only need 300 extra calories a day while pregnant. I actually don't think you even need that until past the first trimester.
With Hannah I started out weighing 220. The day I delivered her I weighed 239.5. All that weight was gone before she was 2 weeks old. Great job on your weight loss!

Hi Shanarae,
Congratulations (again)! My doctor did do an unfill (from 5 to 3) because I was throwing up a little at the beginning. As soon as he did, I didn't throw up again.
I gained 25 pounds and immediately lost 15 -- now I'm working on that last 10. I'm planning to get a fill in late August. I wanted to give myself time to get adjusted before throwing that on top!
