I will and thanks for the support. For those of you that may find yourselves in this situation. Always protect the baby first. Lap band will be here. Regina

Hello All, I just found out that I am expecting a baby in December. My lap band is scheduled for this month. Should I go ahead with it or cancel. I know that once the band is in place you can have it adjusted for the pregnancy but I don't know about getting it while you are pregnant. Does anyone have any idea? :-? Thanks, GiBaby

It looks like my plans maybe changing. I just found out that I am expecting! I have to say I have mixed emotions about it. But that will be my new bundle of joy. =D>

I can understand exactly what you mean. I am trying to quit smoking and loose 11lbs prior to my date. I is not easy and is a very frustrating process. Hang in there and I will do the same. I think I will come back here and chat if things get too bad. GiBaby71

Thanks you guys, you have really relaxed me about the tests. I was so worried about being a smoker and trying to quit that I was really working myself up. I don't know what I would do without this discussion board. GiBaby71

I'm Regina and I see you are making progress with the preop. I haven't started yet. I tried but didn't make it. I am going to start again on Tuesday. GiBaby71

Thank you and congrats to you both.

I have the same fear. I smoke and I am going to stop on Tuesday. I hope I will be able to pass the lung test. I hate to go all the way down there and end up not getting banded because of my smoking habit. I will keep you posted on how it goes.

My profile is almost like yours. I am 36 year old, 5'2" and 211 lbs. I am hoping to be down to 200lbs when my surgery date rolls around. My date is April 18th. Keep in touch we could become buddies across the internet! GiBaby

Thanks Teri, It seems you are well versed on the fill subject. How is your son doing with his fills?

That helped some, I guess I just won't know until I experience it. Thank you

I found this doctor. His office is not in TN, he is in OH. Fills are done for "out of towners" the first saturday of the month. Here is his response and contact information: Regina, We do fills on lots of patients from Tennessee actually! We only do it on a self pay basis though. We charge $300 for the first adjustment which includes a fill and a nutrition eval by our banded registered dietitian Erin. Subsequent fills are $150 and also include a follow-up visit with Erin. You will need to make a commitment to 3-5 fills to achieve success. We see out of town patients for band adjustments on the first Saturday of each month from 1-4pm, so you can drive up that morning and get your fill. I went to med school in Nashville so I have driven it many times, it
