I messed up. Pregnant 37 days post op

[sparkles502 22]

I'm horrified about the what ifs. Don't know what to do. Scared to tell my surgeon. I have not been losing weight I have only lost 11 lbs post op but my blood sugar has regulated so its not all for nothing. I see a lot of people who have miscarried. Can anyone shed some light on being pregnant this soon after being banded??

[sparkles502 22]

I forgot to say I'm currently at 285 and have had two miscarriages in the past ugh I'm so stressed out over this!!!

You need to go see both your OBGYN and your surgeon ASAP.

I agree with Missy, see your Drs.

Another thing, God does not make mistakes!!!

Wishing you all the best.

Awwww, sweetie, don't be scared to tell him, I'm sure he has heard & seen it ALL. When you say you've seen people who have missed carried, do you mean banded people?? I don't know too much about getting pregnant so soon, my surgeon required we visited a family planning clinic, and I'm on an IUD; first time ever on birth control. I'm sure there's light at the end of the tunnel for you. Don't be so scared. And MAKE THAT CALL!! (((Kisses & Huggz)))

Thanks ladies. And yes, I am referring to banded women who have miscarried. But I've also seen people stories now about people who are banded and make it out just fine. I am going to call my obgyn and my surgeon on Monday. His office never said anything to me about pregnancy at all during my times I had spent there. One of the nurses who works in his office just made a joke about how the nickname for it should be the fertile band. Pregnancy was not even on my mind, so I never even asked my doc about it. Sigh, wish me luck guys lol.

A friend who got banded 6 months after me found out she was pregnant just one month after she was banded too. She has PCOS and hadn't had a period in years until her pre-op diet, so it was a wee bit of a surprise, suffice to say! She'd had one fill so they removed it and she had an uneventful pregnancy, had a bouncing baby boy, and after she'd finished breastfeeding, they recommenced her fills and she lost all her excess weight.

Talk to your lapband surgeon and talk to your obgyn. I don't think you have anything to be stressed about. And congratulations!

[sparkles502 22]

Thanks lellow! I love a good happy ending. I've had only had one fill myself (this past Friday) and my dr would not tell me how much he put in. Lol he said I will try and compare with my other band buddies and its not important. I'm glad your friend had a healthy baby and pregnancy. Praying for the same

The lapband would have no effect on a miscarriage, so don't stress on that. Stress however, could. I am on band baby #2 and I've had healthy pregnancies/babies. Just get in to see your docs and work out a plan. You'll be fine. Congrats and good luck hun!! <3

I got pregnant one month later the band. I never had a fill so there was no reason to take out any Fluid. It was really fine. After you have the baby it will just be like starting over

[Heather_8.1.14 65]

Sparkles-how are things going? Did you see your surgeon and confirm the pregnancy?

[sparkles502 22]

Hi ladies sorry I was MIA, I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. I am looking forward to using my lapband to help me move forward! I will say I am a diabetic and I did gain a little weight I never even got to see my surgeon but I did call his office and they told me to just keep my follow up appt with him. Hopefully the next time I get preggo will be a success!! Thanks girls <3
