I had to have all of my Fluid removed on Monday. I was so dehydrated and throwing up bile :( My stomach still feels swollen and I am still having trouble eating certain things but I would prefer to be able to eat and enjoy this time because its my last baby, and because I got the weight off twice before, I can do it again (original WL, then weight loss after band baby #1)

I had 4 cc's in a 14 cc band throughout my nature pregnancy. I didn't have to have any fill taken out. Just make sure you're getting plenty of calories in. You only need 300 extra. I had a very healthy 8lb 9 oz little girl. I stayed exactly the same weight my entire pregnancy and at my two week check up I had lost 30 lbs from delivery day. You can do it. It's completely up to you. Just be aware of how much you're taking in and if you feel like you need more calories don't be afraid to have some fill taken out. You'll drop the weight as soon as the baby gets here.

Hi congrats! So you said you didn't have an unfill at all. Did you have a c section? I am 32 weeks and have not had an unfill and was debating if I should have one since I will be having a c section due yo swolleness. Thanks in advance

I think everyone is different. I had 7cc's in my 10cc band. I didn't have any problems except I would occasionally get stuck. I then would take a sip of something and that would help. My band was completely unfilled at 16 weeks due to a nasty virus that caused severe vomiting. I never had any mornin sickness and stayed filled until that point! Talk to your surgeon and good luck! :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
