Lap band mommies
Anyone with lap band I need your help. I will be 34 weeks on Thursday and the past maybe 2ish weeks I have not been able to eat much. I can only eat a few bite here and there. I never got an unfill from my pregnancy since I was not throwing up. Do you think this is a band problem or just baby taking up more room? I have started lossing weight again but my doctor is not concerned since baby boy is growing. Any suggestions, I would prefer not to go get an unfill and just hoping this will change after I have him in 4 weeks (will have a scheduled c-section at 38 weeks).
Personally, I'd get a little unfill if I were you. The last couple weeks of pregnancy and the first couple post partum are stressful enough without worrying about food. That's just my personal opinion!

Toward the end of my pregnancy, I had the same experience. I think it was just the baby taking up so much space and squishing things around. You can see why it might be a problem if you look at a cross section picture, like here: http://www.mkillustrations.com/portfolio.php?cid=5
If you're able to eat small amounts often and you just get full easily but you aren't vomiting or having trouble with liquids, I wouldn't worry too much.
