32 Weeks prego. .. Do I need to get an unfill if having a C Section



Recommended Posts

I am 32 weeks pregnant with Baby Boy number 3 and have only gained 8 pounds because I have not got unfilled and have stayed active :) I was told since I was having a c section I should have an unfill... then i was told if i have no complications there is no reason to get unfill... which is true? Had anybody Had a c section and not had an unfill. Thanks in advance

ruthie:

have you had any surgery with your lapband?

My suggestion would be to get a complete unfill because when they put in your IV and pump you up full of fluids for the surgery you will retain Water everywhere, including where your lapband is implanted.

Talk to your lapband doctor they know best.

I can't comment on the C Section as when I had mine I wasn't banded. I did however have a hysterectomy 2 years ago and didn't get unfilled for that. i didn't have any issues.

I've never had a c/s so Im not quite sure of the answer. Your best bet is to ask your surgeon and talk with your OB.

Good luck!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
