I had my surgery in 2008, I had the realize band put in.  I lost 120 pounds, went from a size 22 to a size 7...finally felt great about myself.  I could buy clothes in regular stores...then in Dec. 2009 i got pregnant with my daughter.  My dr. took some of the liquid out of my band.. I got up to 205 with her, had her 8-9-10...couldn't lose the weight after her, my insurance stopped so i couldn't get a fill, finally this past dec. I got insurance, had to have my gallbladder removed, after that i got another fill, I am now at 5cc in a 10cc band.  I have lost 5 pounds, the first time around with the weightloss seemed so much easier than it is now....anyone else lost again after having a baby with the band?

Also, when I do reach my weightloss goal I wonder if i could get my extra skin removed...i have HIP/blue cross

I had my sleeve in 2007, and I got pregnant 11mo post op. I gained 30lb and then lost 20. Got pregnant again and went from 175 to 209. I am 171 now and I've lost 38 pounds since the birth of my 2nd.

I'm trying really really hard to loose back down to my lowest weight. (145) around 30lb, but It's definatly going slower this time around. What part of indy you in?? I'm in Greenwood.

BTW Dr Clark took out my gallbladder this past summer and he took a peak at my sleeve. (Oldest one he's ever seen) he was excited! lol
