I'm very confused. You have only just been banded, when did you find out you were pregnant? Generally surgery won't go ahead if you are pregnant.

Are you pregnant now? Because the standard wait time is 18 months to 2 years before you should plan to get pregnant after ANY bariatric procedure. Otherwise you may have complications related to the restricted diet/nutrition required. Since you shouldn't be taking any estrogen based birthcontrol due to clotting risks for the first 4-6 weeks postop you will need to use secure forms of birthcontrol because weightloss will increase your fertility. No doctor should install this on someone who is pregnant.

I think we misunderstood you. I think you were saying, you're glad you can still get pregnant with a lapband,right? Not that you are pregnant.

I hope that you are saying you are happy that you can have more children someday. You should not have a pregnancy too soon after lapband, but that does not prevent you from the sex part. Just use good judgement on birth control. If BF wants kids, then tell him to marry their mother. Kids need a mother and a father in a stable family unit. IMHO

Also... fill out your profile so we can tell if you have been banded or not and when. If you are not yet banded and want more children, do that first, then look into band surgery in a couple of years.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
