Pregnant then banded



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I got banded just over 2 weeks, I've also had PCOS for about 10 years, so fertility has been zilch.

I know that I am a couple or so weeks late with my period so decided to do a test today.

I did 2, and they are both positive. God knows how this could have happened (apart from the obvious lol) because I can't get pregnant.

I must have already been pregnant when I had my band, this has worried me somewhat after having a GA and x rays etc

I'm in a long term loving relationship and I havent told him yet, hell Ive only know for an hour! But I know he doesnt want children of his own, he gets on great with my 12 yr old and his 3 neices/nephews he adores and vice versa.

I'm terrified. And I dont know what to do. I'm semi convinced the 2 tests must be wrong, but I'm a scientist by trade, and I know they are correct.

Weightogo,

Did they do a preg test on you before you went in for surgery? I think it's standard practice.

They definitely should have done a test before surgery. I had one prior to surgery even though I KNEW I couldn't be pregnant. That doesn't make sense. Have you had sex since surgery? If you have PCOS, do you skip periods anyway? If you have had sex since surgery, maybe the pregnancy is extremely recent. I am grasping at straws, but you should definitely call your obgyn and get in asap. You need to know how pregnant you are and then go from there.

Hey all, no I wasnt tested before the surgery, we were all asked if we could be pregnant. We all said no, I have PCOS so I couldnt possibly be pregnant. And I didn't think I was at all.

Yes I have had sex since surgery, but I havent had a period since end of Feb so that would equate to around 7 weeks gestation, going by the first day of my last period. I don't normally skips periods, they tend to vary though.

We dont have such a thing as an OBGYN to go see (I'm in the UK), we have to go through the general doctors surgery, the pregnancy has to be confirmed and you go for there. I called yesterday but they can't fit me in yet.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
