Banded January 7th, lost 63lbs, (was 325 ish), 10 weeks pregnant ... in shock as 41 years old with kids 11 and 7 and had no others planned. Excited though!!

In UK so all the medics are over reacting and treating me as high risk even though last two pregnancies were fine. CVS being done Friday.

Band is 9ml full in 14ml band and I plan to keep it filled for as long as possible. I still throw up a lot but the weight loss is worth it.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Just my opinion, but if you're throwing up a lot I'd have some Fluid removed from the band for sure. Vomiting is major cause of slips and you definitely don't need to deal with that on top of being pregnant. Better safe than sorry.

Best wishes to you.

Congratulations!!!

I agree with Mis73 about taking a little out. I guess in the UK you can probably get a slipped band fixed under your health care system, but that would not be something I would want to explore while pregnant.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
