I'm freaking out right now! I was banded on Oct 17th and have actually been doing pretty good I've lost over 40 pounds with no complications but I could be pregnant now. Me and my fiance had our usual protected sex but after finishing we relaized the condom had broke and it was too late. I know they say to at least wait a year so I'm scared to death right now. I still have two weeks before my period to take a test but everytime in the past we had unprotected sex we have got pregnant first thing. We have a beautiful happy healthy 3 year old daughter and I had a miscarriage 10 months after we had her. The reason for the miscarriage was I was taken birth control pills and didn't reliaze I was pregnant. So has any one else gotten pregnant this close out? And how did it go? I'm scared to death!!!!

Indeed, I just posted an update to a topic I started. I was banded June 9, 2011 and will be 5 months pregnant as of this Friday. I'll let you do the math :-)

Never had a chance to even get a fill. I'm still down on my weight and besides my complication with my blood clots that are NOT band related, I'm doing well.

You may not be but if you are, it's not the end of the world!

Thank you for replying, it makes me feel better I'm not alone. Everyone is telling me to let my doctor know right away but I don't want to do that until I know for sure. He stressed over and over again to not get pregnant for a year and its not like I didn't try to protect myself lol I'm already on prenatal vitamins, have been since the surgery. He said that's the best multi vitamin to take so that's help if I am pregnant

_{I was in the process of moving and had no local surgeon when I found out. I was working on finding a new surgeon when I thought I had the "flu" and found out I was pregnant. Do tell you surgeon at some point but prenatal care is the main concern at this time. The only thing I'm worried about it I have read that many women up to 6 months after giving birth, experience a slip. I'll be sure to find a surgeon in the mean time to make sure I can have things fixed should a problem arise.}

_{Just take care of yourself. My specialist is actually more concerned with me not eating enough and the baby being underweight. Now is not the time to worry about weight loss. You can do so in 9 months if necessary. I am a little disappointed because I was doing so well on my own without a fill when I found out I was expecting but making sure you and baby are ok is key.}

I got pregnant 9 months after being banded (twice, miscarried one the first pregnancy), my clinic defilled me, I gave birth to my healthy baby boy. Right after I gave birth I flew straight to my surgeon he did a flouro made sure everything was fine then I had a fill and the baby weight just melted away. Good luck ladies with your babies. My band baby will be turning 4 next month.
