14 Months Out And 71/2 Weeks Pregnant!



Recommended Posts

After 17 years of tears and heartbreak, I am finally pregnant!!!!! I stopped taking BC at 13 months because it doesnt agree with me. Well... was pregnant weeks later! This is our first child and beyond excited!! Saw the Dr a week ago and measured 6 weeks. I am going back at 8 weeks to confirm gestational age and for a regular 8 week appt.

I currently have 10.5 cc's in at 14cc band. I am concerned I may have issues but the Dr said I should be just fine. We will keep a close eye on the development to be sure I am eating enough and the baby is growing. She said most women do fantastic with the band and is pleased I didnt run out and get unfilled. So far MS is so mild that I do not vomit. She said there really are only positives with pregnancy and the band. I have had no problems in the last 14 months so Im hoping it stays that way.

As for the baby... very very EXCITED!!!

Congrats! The good news with having a band is if they need to they can unfill it and let you enjoy the pregnancy then once the baby is here you can have it filled again.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
