Six weeks!!

I just found out I am six weeks pregnant! I had my surgery on October10th of last year. Since then, I have lost 90 pounds. I m so thankful for the band giving me this opportunity. I honestly don't think I could save ever gotten pregnant without losing the weight. I am going to see my band doctor on the 17th. They acted like they removed all fluids during a pregnancy. Is that normal?

Some do and some don't remove fluid. Its up to your doctor.

My surgeon removed 1.5ccs when I was 6 weeks along. He said normally they don't remove any unless there is a problem. Ie: morning sickness that occurs with vomiting or feeling stuck or tight. I was feeling things sticking on their way down. He said if it happens again he can take more out, but so far so good. I'm 16 weeks now.

I'm 20 wks now I had all liquids removed back in August I could barley breath nothing stayed down.. It actually got rid of morning sickness for me.. I've only gained 3 pounds i feel so much better my surgeon also said he didn't want to run the risk of anything happening to baby I agreed..

Congrats on your pregnancy!! I had my band emptied with both of my band babies (Im 38wks with my 2nd one). Just remember to watch portions and most importantly ENJOY your pregnancy! :)
