  1. I have the same thing but it is not from your band or from any weight loss surgery you can have this and never had that. it actually is still a mystery to science. some think it comes from being dehydrated so make sure you get lots of fluids and try drinking water first thing in the morning. they have meds for it but mine never last long its pretty painful but goes away in about 5 minutes
  2. after 10 years I still avoid a lot of breads, pizza, French fries, any dry meat I only eat ribeye steak , hamburger tends to be difficult again has to be a good cut of meat. sometimes its the combination of foods like I have to be careful with meat and mashed potatoes. or a tomatoes sandwich with mayo something about the consistency doesn't work. watermelon can also be tricky i can have it but nothing else with it.

    Pregnant 4 months post op

    i had the surgery November 29 2010 found out i was pregnant ( while on nuvaring) in june . I had lost a little over 50 lbs and was told that the amount of weight loss causes the estrogen from your fat cells to release this is why the birth control did not work. They did not tell me this before surgery. I actually had a great pregnancy this was my 3rd. i gained 25 lbs they monitored me closely and let some of the fluid out of my band . i had more ultrasounds to make sure the baby was growing which was great to me since i could see her more. i craved fruit salad . i had a scheduled C-section due to my other 2 being a c-section. I made sure i took my vitamins and tried to eat healthy . The end of pregnancy i had more acid reflux but that's pretty common. she came out a healthy 7 lbs 8 oz i breastfeed for 3 months and got back to prepregnancy weight loss at 6 months after. i think it was a little over a year after before i added a fill back to my band.
