Did you band get tighter before you found out you were pregnant?

Hi all,

My husband and are trying to conceive, and I am sure I am having a wacko cycle, but I have never experienced anything like this before. I am due to start my cycle on May 5, and on April 26, I started spotting, light pink and then seems to get a little heavier, but have not needed a pad. But, I have noticed my band has been tighter than normal. I have also been having lots of heartburn. So, I was wondering if anyone experienced this prior to finding out you were pregnant.

Thank you :smile:

I'm eight weeks and I just noticing that my band seems a little tighter this week. I didn't notice a difference at all in the beginning. Have you tested???

I was having some pains after I ate, and due for my period. I took a test and it was positive. I had 3.5ccs, and got 1cc removed, and now I feel better. So I guess it was pregnancy making me feel tight, and now I had an unfill, I dont feel restricted at all (but still eating less than pre-surgery).

I took two of the dollar general 5 day early pregnancy tests and both of them gave me a very, very faint line. But then, when I tested earlier yesterday, it was even more faint. When I took the tests, I was 11 days past ovulation and 12 days past ovulation. I am taking another in the a.m. at 13 days past and see what happens. Strange thing, I spotted from 7 DPO to 11 DPO, and now I am not spotting. So, I don't know what's going on. I am not "technically" due to start my period until May 5th. So, I have no clue. Congrats to you on your bun in the oven :thumbup:)

Congrats to you!! :thumbup:) I have almost 6 cc in my band, but I know sometimes my band gets tighter around cycle time, anyway. I've also got some heartburn going on too.

Just wanted to come on and say, I experienced a chemical pregnancy. So, I was, in fact, pregnant, but for whatever reason, it just didn't stay in there. :thumbup: I have to go and have my progesterone levels checked this month on the 21st day of my cycle. So, hopefully, this month will be better.

Sorry to hear about your loss, I wish you all the best for next month! It does show the band is affected in early pregnancy for some of us, since I wasnt the only one. I really hope youre successful soon!!

Yes! for 7-10 days before I got a positive pregnancy test, I was noticeably tighter (which really made me believe that I was indeed preggo!). I actually PB'ed twice which I hadn't done in nearly a year. Good luck with things!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
