Newly Pregnant, And Having Discomfort



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I am about 5w1d pregnant. The past few days I have been pretty bloated. With the bloat I am having a lot of discomfort at my port site. Not sure if this normal or not. I can't even imagine when I start getting really big. Has anyone experienced this?

I'd talk with your obgyn and your lapband surgon about getting an unfill or deflate for your pregnancy since you are so early, especially once the morning sickness starts cuz vomit is bad for the band but you have to cuz of the pregnancy. Many experienced lapband doctors know how to safely treat you while pregnant and the same should go with your obgyn. Good news on your baby. keep me posted as I"m planning on a baby soon myself.

Well its not my band, it the port site. I am not even a year out, so I didnt know if it still is healing into my muscle.

Thank you for your reply. I may call them tomorrow.

I would think the port site is healed, but the bloating may be stretching things. Make sure you check in with your weight loss surgeon. And congrats on the new baby!

Its very normal to be bloated at the beginning of your pregnancy. Its one of the many reasons I knew I was pregnant. Your body should adjust to it in a few weeks.

As for the port pain some get it some don't. But if your already having it id ask the doc if there is anything you can do to relieve it because its only going to get worse as you grow.

Port pain for me came and went the entire pregnancy. It wasnt horrible but there were days I was pretty uncomfortable. Remember there is a lot of stretching going on and that port is attached to muscle. Good luck.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
