Welcome Eva

Just want to share our good news.  Eva Danielle came 2 weeks early (1 week before the schedule c-section) on 3/9/10. She was 7lbs and 183/4 inches.  It was nice surprise to be able to have a v-back....so much easier in the recooperating.  We are home n good but struggling with a weight loss of 20%, breastfeeding issues and jaundice.  I'm supplementing with more formula b/c they want to get that weight back up with the fat content.  My pregnancy was a rocky road but I really appreciate all the support and advice rec'd on this forum.  Would post a pic but not quite sure how to do that.  I'm a lap band patient and around my 3rd trimester I had a whole cc taken out of my bad and so glad that i did. I gained 25 lbs total and very happy with that compared to my 40 + that I gained with my first.  Question is when should I get another fill? I think appts are a month out.  I could schedule n cancel if feeding issues don't get better.  I'm taking a ton of vitamins.  These big ole horse pills. Yuck.  Anyway, thanks again for letting me share our good news! 

Congratulations!!! Glad to hear that the baby is well.

Congratulations on your baby girl! Glad you got to have a VBAC. I wish I could! *sniff* I envy your easier recovery. I don't have any advice on the fill. I had RNY.

congratulations on the safe arrival of your little girl Eva. lucky you. im glad all is going well.

Yay congrats and welcome Eva! DO you have her pic in your profile? If not you can easily upload it there then copy and paste it to a message.

I would call your surgeon and ask - I wouldn't think that there would be a restricition on how long you have to wait before getting a fill.

Congrats! Im sure your feeding probs will get better! Keep us updated!

Congrats and welcome Eva!!! I am have been wondering how you were doing!  How great about the 25 pounds. I am worried about my weight gain. I had some taken out in the first trimester but still have about 2 cc in my 4cc band. I am not sure if I should get a little bit of a fill as I can eat way more than I should!

Congrats on your newest arrival!

Congrats on baby Eva!   I'm a band patient also.  Can you take chewable vitamins instead of the horse pills?  I wouldn't suggest having a fill while trying to take huge pills.  For me it always ends up in diaster.   I Eva's jaundice goes away soon.  Both of my babies had it for a few weeks.
