I'm 6 weeks post op as of yesterday, have lost 28 lbs total and today just for 'kicks & giggles' I took a pregnancy test and it was positive!!

We only had sex once since surgery, and I have always had fertility problems. I used ovulation sticks, charting, daily temps for 2 yrs to get pregnant with my daughter and now i'm going to have an Ooops baby!

Wow, I would have never guessed this would happen so quickly. I don't even have any fills in my band yet.

Is it too selfish to want to continue losing weight while being preggo?? Its alot to take in!!

My surgeon made it very clear to me that getting pregnant within the first year of having the band was a definite no no so I would have to guess that you should speak with your doctor about the concept of the band with pregnancy. In general, it is not recommended to actively try to lose weight while pregnant. I would certainly say dont get any fills.

Pre-band (like 18 years pre-band), I lost 23-25kg while pregnant with my second son - under dr supervision. Son was a very healthy baby. Just work closely with your dr.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
