So its not 100% official (doc appt tomorrow) but my at home pregnancy test says I'm pregnant. I called my band Dr and the nurse said id have to have it taken all out but then said the ob usually wants it taken out.... I don't like that answer specially since I'm afraid of gaining wayyyy to much back. Sooo my question....how many of you had your doc leave your fills in? Did you have a choice? What are the risks of leaving it in? I'm sure I could get this from google but id rather have real answers

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!
