I found some gummy pre-natal vitamins at Target. Amazing!!

Congratulations! I'm also pregnant, but I went and had a total unfill two days ago. Of course, I didn't want to, but I was experiencing 'morning sickness' all day, and was gagging and unable to vomit. Once the morning sickness passes, I can get fills during pregnancy (if I want) with a letter from my OBGYN. I haven't been any more hungry than I was with my band filled, which I feel suprised about. What is important to remember is to put your band first, if you are experiencing any gagging or vomiting. There are some pretty scary stories on this board about having slipped bands during pregnancy. Even the thought of having to have surgery again was motivation enough for me! If your not sick and you can get adequate nutrition, just keep trucking along

Hi! I was diagnosed with PCOS after 1 yr of TTC; in all we tried for 3 years including injectables and clomid, plus daily metformin. I decided to have Lap-band® b/c it was recc by my RE. !!Three months!! later here I am 4 weeks pregnant w/out any medication at all in total, I've lost 50 lbs since my high and about 35 since surgery.

I'm curious as to why your doctor wont give you a fill until you have already lost 50 lbs? I've not heard of that before. Do you know why? I thought the restriction of the fills was what really helped people lose weight?

Hi my name is Lindsey...and I'm a drinker :thumbup: I also like the idea of the ice. One of my problems is that I LOVE spicy food, so that makes it more difficult not to drink. Also, I've found that if I stay well hydrated throughout the rest of the day I'm not soo thirsty at meal time. I think prior to the band I was relying on meal time to get in much of my Fluid intake.

Actually the same thing happened to me. I was suprised b/c I had just finished my cycle about 3 days pre-op. Sure enough, AF came to visit again about a week after surgery.
