Anyone pregnant or been pregnant with a Lap Band in for weight loss?

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!
Lorri -

Sorry no one has answered, but I assume that no one has been in your position......I'm sure that your OB is aware that you had the lap band??  I'm sure that he/she would have let you know if there were any risks....Again, sorry I can't really help.
