Hi everyone.so I've just found out I'm pregnant with no4. Complete surprise and not planned. So I'm now freeking out about my band. Had it fitted nearly a year ago and have lost between 4.5/5stone so far. I have 7.25mls in a 10ml band and don't have too much trouble with it. How were everyone else's pregnancies after their band? I realy don't want to have the Fluid out unless I realy have to. Do I need to tell my band provider? Sorry so many questions, I'm just a bit worried.thanx

@@j294 Don't stress Congrats on baby number 4!!! Your band will do just fine, so long as you are doing fine. If you find that you are having trouble getting enough nutrition to support your pregnancy than I would suggest removing some not all of Fluid from your band.

Let your OB/GYN know that you have a lap band and so long as the baby is developing well and your nutrition is adequate for your health your all set. Enjoy the pregnancy as much as possible and the impending birth of your new little one.

It won't hurt to let your bariatric Dr. know you are pregnant as well, and that you will advise them as things move forward if you are having any issues with eating or drinking.

Best of luck to you and your new little one!!

How is youre restriction is your band already tight? If it is, I would remove it entirely- I did and I am so glad I did. But that is because my band was already too tight.
