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 have seen lots of posts from pregnant banders. They will pop up eventually.

Hi Amanda! I am pregnant as well! I am now 14 weeks along. I had an unfill when I was about 6 weeks when I started having alot of nausea. Luckily I did this because I threw up that very night. I have gained some weight back but I still try to eat healthy and keep my weight under control. I was banded Jan 2011 and lost 165lbs before getting pregnant. Let me know if you wanna chat sometime! I'd love to!

Hi! I was curious about pregnancy after a lap band surgery a while back and I googled it. The dr will remove the saline fluid from the band that so that you can eat more during your pregnancy since you will be eating for two. I personally know a few women that have had both the lap band surgery and the gastric bypass surgery and they have gained back very little weight during pregnancy. After the pregnancy they put down the weight once again. Good luck!!!

Not all doctors do a complete unfill during pregnancy. After all the second person is only 0 to 8 pounds; you're not feeding 2 150 pound people.

My doctor wants me to eat like a " thin " person. Thin women get pregnant and have healthy babies everyday.
