Pregnant with my band

I found out I was pregnant a few weeks ago. I havent been feeling to great, I have been very nauseous almost daily. I see my OB on Monday and my Surgeon on Friday to see what exactly I need to do/ not do. I have no idea what they are going to want to do. I feel like I do not want any fluid removed at all and nobody is touching my band but wanted to hear others story's. I really dont want to gain alot of weight. Any advice ? Also anyone breastfeeding? And how long after can you get fills if they take fluid out?

I gained about 28lbs and lost it all, breastfeeding will help you lose the weight faster :) And don't focus on your weight gain now, just as long as baby is growing healthy and you're doing well that's all that matters :)

For Yvonne74, I had gallbladder issues with both my pregnancies, both were band babies. I just got my gallbladder removed a month ago, my 2nd child is now 5 months old. If you don't have gallstones you can wait to get your gallbladder removed. It won't harm your baby, you just need to watch your diet no fatty or fried foods because that's what triggers a gallbladder attach. Unfortunately one of the side affects of having a lap band is gallbladder problems it stops functioning for some of us. Look up gallbladder disease diets it will help you to know what foods to avoid. Gallbladder attacks are no fun, and painful I was in the hospital with every one.

Good luck
