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!
