SOooo... the recovery to surgery has been TOUGH and today I found out why it seems I have been sicker than most people have said they have been. I mean 4 weeks post op most people are excercising and feeling nearly back to normal right? Well I havnt. I have had constant nausea... feel so weak and so tired and have no energy at all, cant stomach much of anything and my gag reflex is super sensitive now.... so I went to see my surgeon today thinking maybe i had a slip.. They did an upper GI and said my band looks perfect. Said maybe its my gal bladder, then jokingly said "or maybe your pregnant."

Being that I have tried to get pregnant for the last 15 years and underwent fertility treatments for nearly 8 years off and on, and adopted my son, I start to obsess about the thoughts of being pregnant when someone says something like that. So to stop the insanity in my brain I take a test to prove its negative and get my brain back to reality. So today thats what I did... took 4 test actualy... because one after another they all said POSITIVE! I am in complete and total shock. Based on my cycle this puts be between 6 and 8 weeks pregnant.. which means i was pregnant before surgery! I know they tested me so how is this possible? Havnt been up to much "action" since surgery so pretty positive it was before... I never would have dreamed this is even possible. I gave up on that dream years ago after I adopted my son. But 4 test cant all be wrong can they???

So from what I read its of course not in my best interest to be pregnant now that Ive just been banded, but who am I to argue with a God who has performed a COMPLETE MIRACLE??? I of course have concerns and plan to talk to my surgeon and see my OBGYM ASAP, but figured it should wait till morning... Guess that explains why I have felt so sick.....

Anyways, anyone else heard of such craziness?????

I'm a cry baby too! This made me cry! I am so happy for you! It's amazing!

Your raspberry is ADORABLE!!! !!!

So happy for you and your hubby! And your other kids! Big families rock!

Did you talk to your OB about losing weight while preggers? I was 220 when I FINALLY got pregnant with my daughter. My OB actively encouraged me to loose weight while pregnant, though, of course I completely ignored her and ate like a humungus cow.

HUGS and you owe me some kleenex too! Super teary eyed here.

What a lovely outcome for you and your family. I wish you all the very best for your growing family.

On a side note, I actually lost 23kg while pregnant with my second son simply through watching what I ate and appropriate exercise (under my doctor's care.) So good luck with your weight.

I hope you really enjoy being pregnant. I loved it!

OMGosh, this is probably my favorite post of the entire day! Congratulations to you!!!!!!!!! As a longtime sufferer of PCOS and other various reproductive issues, babies have long been off my radar, and I gave up years ago the idea of ever having children, so I know how that part of it feels.

I am completely impressed and happy for you!

Also, I've heard that 'band babies' are somewhat common, as women end up gaining back their fertility when they start losing weight. I have a friend who is a fellow bandster, and she got pregnant right after getting her band, and her little son is a healthy 3 year old now, so I know it's possible to have a healthy pregnancy with the band.

Good luck with everything! How exciting!

Congrats!! Good luck with the baby!!

It is funny how things turn out sometimes. Congratulations and best of luck.

So guess what... ME TOO! Just found out. I am still in shock and awe. Guess losing weight helps with PCOS. My mom's response was "Well, I guess you're getting healthier."

HOLY CRAP!

congrats on being pregnant. It is a wonderful feeling to experience. It is the best part of being a woman. We grow life.
