Narrative:
Taxiing out waiting for final weights. We sent a contact to load planning as to where our final weights were. They sent a message back that weights had not been sent. We were blocking the takeoff of other planes; so we were cleared onto the runway and back off again further down the runway. We sent another contact to load planning 15 mins later. They sent final weights. We input these weights; did before takeoff checklists; and departed. About 4 to 5 mins after takeoff; load planning sent an ACARS that they had added more bags after new weights will follow. We sent an ACARS for load planning to report the incident. We also sent an ACARS to dispatch to also report the incident.
