Anyone pregnant or has been pregnant with Lap Band in?

Hi all -
I had Lap Band surgery about 2 years and it was a little bit succesful at first but has failed me. Probably alot to do with my own issues also. Anyway...
Im 6months pregnant finally after a long battle trying to conceive and have a big tummy anyway but I now I have been popping out 'up top' where as i only had a puch below before. I can feel my port and what I think is my band right underneath the skin. I realise this is only a normal progression that everything moves out and up but... will it poke out of my skin eventually and be visible (under the skin i mean). Also Ive heard that your port can be dislodged by the baby. Has anyone here been pregnant and what did they experience band wise.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
