They could technically but they won't be looking at that. Definitely won't have an X-ray while pregnant.

Lol they will be scanning no way near your stomach - they will be looking inside your uterus.

Ultrasounds are safe during pregnancy. But definitely not x-rays. While they could see your sleeve, Nicolanz is right, they won't be looking for that. But are you just wondering about the kind of visibility on these tests or are you asking because you don't want your doctor or the ultrasound techs to know you've been sleeved?

Well they could see it, I just don't know that they'll be looking.

BUT, way more importantly, I completely understand wanting to keep your surgery private, but you need to disclose your surgery to your doctors. It is an important part of your anatomy now and can effect more aspects of your health than you might realize. When pregnant, it's VERY important for both your health and the health of your baby that the doctor know you've had weight loss surgery. If you don't want the technicians to know, they likely wouldn't see it and you don't have to mention it to them, but your doctor NEEDS to know.

Oh good!!! You had me worried for a minute!! :) I really don't think they would see it. I have a lap band and it was in place during both of my pregnancies. I had quite a few ultrasounds with each baby, and even with having a foreign object in my body they didn't see it on ultrasound (or at least never said anything or asked me about it)! I think you'll be fine and they won't even notice!

Yes, the doctor will be removing my band and then perform the sleeve surgery. Hopefully it can all be completed in one surgery. I'm very ready to have my band out and get sleeved!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
