Is there anyone banded and pregnant? can you be pregnant and keep your fills or must you have the fluid removed?

Not planning on ever being pregnant again but interested in the answer. I had a health third pregnancy in which I gained no weight whatsoever and my baby was perfectly fine, I ate very carefully and followed weightwatchers throughout because I was petrified about how tired and sick I'd be feeling if I got even heavier than I was.

So I woud say technically, if you're overweight there's no need as long as you can get in about 1500 calories of very high quality, nutritious food a day, maybe a slight unfill if necessary. But you never know either whether hormonal pressures and pressure from your growing baby will make your band tighter, I certainly could barely eat by the end of my third pregnancy.

If having a band is anything like having a 3.7 kg baby sitting in a very high breech position blocking off your stomach, this weight is going to literally fall off me. I could see it week by week falling of my face and arms, while my bump grew. When I came home from hospital I was over 10kg lighter than when Eliza had been conceived, I had no recurrence of my pre-eclampsia that I suffered in my first two pregnancies despite being a good 20kg heavier before I started.
