i am only 3 post op, just getting into the swing of working out, and loosing and lately been feeling tired. I thought it was due to not enough protein ect. well period came on twice last month and not at all this one. Just got a fill paid almost 400.00 for and now.....PREGO

what am I gonna do? whats gonna happen to the baby? me? since I just got bsnded in Nov.

please help:eek:

first of all calm down and know this does not mean the end of your weight loss. Congratulations on your baby!

You will have to go see your doc asap. You will probably have your band completely unfilled to protect the baby. They want the baby to get all the nutrients he/she needs. But the great thing about the band is you can have it tightened again after you have the baby and resume your weight loss!

i plan to go make an appt tom. jub took 2 more test to be sure. an yep I an. dh is happy, but i don know what to fee:confused_smile:l.

Depending on how much fill you have, you may not need it taken out at all. I only needed about 1/4 of what I had taken out, and that was only due to some extreme tightness! So take it easy :biggrin: Everything will be fine!

I was told I didnt have to get my fill out as long as I got lots of protein and wasnt having morning sickness. He said we would just monitor the baby. Well that went fine until Monday when I all of a sudden got very very tight so today I got .8cc out and I feel much better. How much are you able to eat?? Are you really tight??

I can eat a small meal. I have been able to keep everything down w/o a prob. I have 2.8cc in but only 1.4 is in me band ( I have a 10cc) I feel alot better about everything. I am over that shock.....as for protein do I have to double my amount now.I have a hard enough time doing the 40-60mg per day.

dr. says that I am 7 weeks and 4 days. I called my fill Dr. and he said as long as i follow my OB diet recommendations and take my vit everything will be fine. today is my b-day! I'm pregnant! I'm happy. life's great:biggrin2:

Happy Birthday! :confused:

My question is if you are only 3 days post op why didnt they run an HCG on you in the hospital?!? It is a routine test given to everyone 50 and under that hasnt had a hysterectomy where I work! That is crazy. Congrats but do talk to the Dr about what kind of anesthesia you had durning surg and make sure all the meds you had operatively are ok with baby!

I think she meant 3 months post-op, no days :w00t: In her original post she mentions being banded in Nov. So, she probably did have the preg test pre-surgery. I was a little horrified thinking that myself, as I've even twice had to have pregnancy tests before getting a fill because my doc used to use flouro!

i just found out that i'm pregnant, and i have not been getting enough protein, i am only 5 months post op, and have only lost 20 lbs. how do you guys double your protein??? looks like i will have to do protein drinks.

oops- sorry guys i did mean 3 months . I have gained a lb and a half already. I cant hep but weigh myself every morning. I felt kinda bad seeing the scale go up instead of down. I know I am being selfish, huh?:tongue:
