  1. ah so you didn't remove it completely, you just unfastened the band and i guess after pregnancy you will have a new surgery and they will fix it back.. right? they wanted to do the same to me, but im affraid to have such difficult thing in the 32 weeks.. im affraid that will make me labor too early! i have not saline inside the band. is completely empty since 3rd month.. so what im doing... patience and im eating only grounded food, milk and juices.. thank you very much for your answer! i wish you a sweet and calm pregnancy! ps. sorry for my english
  2. i have the same problem, my surgeon thinks that my band has slipped due to vommiting from morning sickness but since i cant do the vario test we can't be sure 100% that the band has slipped. Only by the symptomatology we can say this. But i have a question: how did your surgeon removed your band? since you can't be under anaisthesia? how did your surgeon found for sure that your band had slipped?
  3. i do not have PCOS anymore thanks my Lap Band surgery.. and i got pregnant without Metformin 11 months after surgery..
  4. im banded and 26+ weeks preg, i did an unfill at 2nd month cause i needed to eat a little better, (my doctor didn't want me to unfill though) .. i have a great pregnancy, i don' t have any problem with the port so far and i gained 16 lb.. Good Luck and Lucky babes for all the Band Preggos Q:-)
