    pregnant

    Baby is almost 7 months. The pregnancy went well! I only ever had 1.5ccs removed. I need to have it put back in now. I didn't have any issues throwing up and only gained 30lbs.

    Really tight in early pregnancy?

    My band was tight in early pregnancy. I had to have 1.5ccs removed.

    Periods?

    2 years and 4 months after surgery, 130lbs lost, I found out I was pregnant. My cycle never regulated, it had never been anywhere near normal lol. I was tested for PCOS and it came back that I don't have it. I'm 33 years old now and 7.5 months pregnant. Don't give up hope yet!!

    You can eat after an unfill. It's actually easier lol also, constant vomiting can displace your band or cause your stomach to mushroom up through the band. You need an unfill Asap.

    My surgeon only takes out fluid if you're having an issue getting or keeping food down. I was feeling stuck around 6 weeks and had 1.5ccs removed. I'm 26 weeks now and haven't been back to my surgeon. I would call the surgeon if I were you to see how they handle pregnancy. Also, make sure your obgyn knows you have a band. You will probably have monthly growth scans (ultra sounds) just to make sure everything us progressing as it should.

    Weight Gain At 25 Weeks Pg

    I have a rough time with chicken if its dry, I guess that really goes for any dried out meats. I have gotten sick once or twice because of that. I can eat wheat toast, and pasta at this point but only in small amounts. which is goods cuz I was a pasta freak before surgery lol. I still have a good deal of restriction, almost as good as before I got pregnant. The small amount of fluid I had removed was because everything was feeling stuck.

    Just an update, I'll be 26 weeks on Wednesday. All is going well other than first time jitters lol. I've gained about 20lbs so far. New obgyn says that's cool.

    Weight Gain At 25 Weeks Pg

    I'm almost 26 weeks at this point and I have gained about 20lbs. My original Obgyn told me not to gain more than 20, but my new obgyn said anywhere from 25-35lbs is ok. I did have about 1.5ccs removed in my first trimester, leaving me with about 6.3ccs still in. luckily to this point, I haven't craved anything. I did however have a huge negative reaction to salad in my first trimester, which was a main staple in my diet at the time. I can eat it again now though.

    Six weeks!!

    My surgeon removed 1.5ccs when I was 6 weeks along. He said normally they don't remove any unless there is a problem. Ie: morning sickness that occurs with vomiting or feeling stuck or tight. I was feeling things sticking on their way down. He said if it happens again he can take more out, but so far so good. I'm 16 weeks now.

    What's normal at this stage?

    I added you Yvonne. Name is Kristen I don't care who knows I have a Lapband. I tell people all the time, it was the best decision I ever made for myself.

    So far it's going pretty normal. I saw my surgeon and had 1.5 ccs taken out only because I was feeling stuck. That was 5 weeks ago. As of today I haven't gained any weight back and am eating well. I have some nausea, but no vomitting. I'm 10 weeks along now. All seems to be well!
