Anyone have a fill doctor in the Atlanta, GA area?

Dr. just put me on this antidepressant. Should I be concerned about weight gain associated with this drug? It is not listed as an side effect.

yes, they are expensive. I think mine last about a month. I struggled so much with vitamins that I am willing to spend the money..... I just did not think that Flintstones was working for me especially after I got pregnant. I definitively can not swallow the vitamins. They get stuck every time almost for a whole day.

Hi all, I have been using the Buried Treasures Liquid Prenatal vitamin since January. I love it and wish I had been using since I got the lapband. I buy it from www.iherb.com.

Thanks KarenLynn... I knew you had been through a very successful lapband pregnancy. I was hoping to hear from you!!! I have not decided on breast feeding yet. It is just my husband and I with no family close by. So I am not sure if bottle feeding or breastfeeding will work best for us. I do want to try breastfeeding though.

Hey!!! I still have 2.0 cc in my band at 33.5 weeks pregnant. I am doing great. I supplement with protein shakes, milk and yogurt. The baby is awesome. Doctors are pleased wit my 10 pound weight gain so far. My restriction changes day to day. As my uterus has grown, restriction gets worse... I still follow the band rules first except i always eat veggies then protein. and I can take all day to eat a meal and i drink with my meals (very small sips). This helps me a eat a little more. But everyone always finishes and eats a lot more than i do!! How much weight do the doctors want you to gain? By the way I have blood pressure, 39 years old & type 2 diabetes complications. so my pregnancy rules are probably different than yours. We are planning my c-section at 36 weeks (aug 26). They will do an amnio on Aug 24 to see if the babies lungs are mature before doing the c-section. Good luck & keep us up to date on your progress!!!

awesome moves!!!

you have done so great with the band. You will get through this!!! I am keeping you in my thoughts!!!

wow, I am so excited for you!!! I can not wait to start my weight loss journey after the baby comes. I was banded in aug 08. i lost about 40 pounds by end of January. I think i still lost some inches during pregnancy. Still have about 50 to go!!

hi all, I am trying to decide if breastfeeding with the band is feasible? Can't find any information on this. I really want to get fill as soon as possible, but also considering breast feeding over bottle feeding. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi all, My c-section is scheduled for Aug 26. How long should I wait to get a new fill? I still have about 2 cc in band and have good restriction. The band has really helped keep my weight within the correct boundaries during this pregnancy. I will be 34 weeks this coming Saturday. Doctors say I should only gain up to 15 pounds. I have gained about 10 now. Thanks!!

Hi, My doctor prescribed this to me for anxiety. Does anyone have positive or negative feedback on it? Thanks!

Hi, Are you having your fills done with floru? I know that having fills done under fluro is very precise. Maybe try that and have it done at a time of day when you normally feel no restriction. Good luck & hang in there.

You look so awesome!!! Great work!!!
