I had 4 cc's in a 14 cc band throughout my nature pregnancy. I didn't have to have any fill taken out. Just make sure you're getting plenty of calories in. You only need 300 extra. I had a very healthy 8lb 9 oz little girl. I stayed exactly the same weight my entire pregnancy and at my two week check up I had lost 30 lbs from delivery day. You can do it. It's completely up to you. Just be aware of how much you're taking in and if you feel like you need more calories don't be afraid to have some fill taken out. You'll drop the weight as soon as the baby gets here.

Congrats!!! I too found out I was pregnant just 3 months after getting my band and I have a beautiful redheaded 5 month old little girl. :-) Your little one is beautiful! Enjoy every moment!

Trust me, you won't want to. At least I don't. I don't have a problem if it's watered down... But if it's fresh, it kills. I'm not a huge soda drinker anyway so it wasn't difficult for me to give up.

I got 4 cc's. My doctor said the first one is big because not only is he filling the band but also all that tubing.

I'm 4 months pot op and including pre op diet I have lost 56 lbs! I'm down 4 pants sizes!

For me it's because my insurance covers me here... And also I see my surgeon AT LEAST once a month and follow up care is most important to me- especially since I've really needed it. He's just a phone call away :-)

Honk's right.... I would call and see of there's fluid in your band. I had so much post op swelling I couldn't even swallow my own spit. Called my doctor and he said "sounds like your fluid needs to come out." I didn't even know there was any in there. Once he took it out I could drink a glass of what're. But still... You should probably still be in full liquids right now. You need to rake it slow and give your stomach time to heal. Best of luck to you!

I've had a port flip. You could have just popped a stitch or maybe just caused some pain from your abdominal muscles flexing and stuff from coughing and having something sewn in there. Make sense? I wouldn't worry to much about it... Just next time you see your surgeon, let him know what happened and he'll check if out. I'm sure you're fine :-)

I was on liquids for two weeks. Maybe you have a lot of swelling from surgery and just née to try to stick with protein shakes and liquified soups with added protein powder in them. Also, you can call your doctor and ask for anti nausea medication. I didn't have a problem with nausea but lots of people do. Good luck!

The heating pad is the only thing that helped me with my gas pains. And a hot shower. Soon you'll wake up one morning and feel much better. It was day 9 for me.

That's awesome for both of you! I'm currently at a plateau and have been for almost two months now. And I've had three surgeries in three months because of port Infections and so on, but I still love my band! I've loaf allay 50 lbs since my my pre-op diet. I've gone from a size tiiiiight 24(probably should have been a 26) to an 18. I'm feeling better. I know I still have a ways to go, and would certainly like my port back because I definitely need a fill... But I'm happy with my success thus far. Sometimes I wish it would come off faster but I also know during this time... Especially without my port and needed a fill... I need to be putting in a lot more effort. But you two are inspiring! I can't wait to lose this extra 80 more lbs!!!!

I bought the papaya and pineapple enzymes and they've really helped when Ive been stuck a couple times. I bought them from traded joes. I found that after surgery I didn't have a BM for probably almost a week and then is was all liquid for a good few days. You might want to wait on the milk of magnesia and see what happens. liquids in, liquids out. But ya, since I eat way less now on occasion I'll take it.
