Does everyone have problem with band post PG?



Recommended Posts

HI, I'm being banded 4-23-08, and am currentl 275, on a 5"8 frame. We have two wonderfull DD. BUt know we want one more, I was thinking to wait until after the 3rd to get the band, but hell no I'm NOT getting PG at my highest weight! NO WAY! SO....my question is once I get down to a decent weight, I"m shooting for around 200-210, and then possibly trying....seems by the posts that a lot of you have problems, not during the PG's but AFTER. I think I would just die if I lost all that weight, looked and felt better, and then to gain it all back. I never threw up with any of my PG's, just constantly nauseous for three months, but every PG is diff. and I can't say that I wouldn't with the third.

SO is it really common to have problems after? Maybe it being PG ahifts your anatomy some? Like pushes things up and around for 9 months, and thats what can causes problems after? IDK, I"m kinda freaking out, I want one more but I have to be here in the long run for the two I already have KWIM? Can anyone shed some light here?:teeth_smile:

i feel the same way. i have 1 daughter and my husband wants more. i was banded in november 07. i feel like i should be able to have some input since its my body. i dont think i am going to risk it. yes more kids would be nice. but i paid 14,000.00 for this surgery(out of my own pocket) and i dont want to blow it by getting pregnant. ya know. you do whats best for you. i think i might stick with being happy with the 1

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

      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! 😞
