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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
