  I had lap band surgery 2 1/2 years ago. I lost 50lbs in the first six months following and have since lost 35 more. I am not at my goal weight, but I am close. How it will affect pregnancy, I'm not sure, but the good thing is the band is adjustable. I'm not sure what kind of info you are looking for, but I'd be happy to answer any questions.

  I have one-- had it about four years.  I lost over 50 pounds in the first six weeks and my gallbladder.  Then I lost another 30 pounds over the next few years.  Then I got pregnant and halfway through had to have it completely unfilled because I wasn't keeping food down-- I ended up gaining 85 before I delivered.  I recently got a small fill again and now am losing weight again.  I want to lose the fifty pounds of baby weight I still have plus another sixty that I wanted to lose before i got pregnant.  I love it-- I couldn't lose more than 15 pounds without it.  The adjust-ability is great.  I also meet with nutritionists and so forth-- to be honest a lot of it is still me learning how to eat well and not eat too much junkfood and look at my eating habits and so forth.  I thought I would lose all the weight in a year, but it has taken me longer to really learn those healthier habits and patterns and adjust.  The band makes it possible for me to do that-- before it was like my stomach was always yelling at me to stuff it all the time.
