Well here is a little about me. I have PCOS and therefore was infertile. Didn't have a period for 5 years and tried to have a baby and finally got pg and had baby boy 5/3/2007 due to IVF. Well I was banded on 1/29/08 and have lost 33lbs since. I got my period for the first time in February than it came again in March, and then April and may. Well I just found out yesturday I am 5.5 weeks pregnant. I am excited and scared. Right after I had my first baby last summer, I got pg like 6 weeks after he was born and miscarried. Well now I been really sick and lightheaded and super hungry. I am scared to tell my dr who does my fills and what not as they don't advise you to get pg will you been banded for a year. Will they have to take the Fluid out? Should I just wait to tell them after my 1st Trimester to see if I have a good stong pregnancy?

Hi Katie,

First I want to say CONGRATULATIONS! Second, if you're getting sick, like throwing up, then yes I would tell them. They might have to unfill you, but it's better than risking a slip. You can start again after your pregnancy. Right now, you have to focus on that first, and the last thing you want is a lap band complication while you are pregnant. Good luck on whatever you decide.

congratulations! that is wonderful. i found that my fat was a great birth control for so long... lose the fat, lose the protection... :thumbup:

i suggest maybe a slight unfill as well. i had 8 ccs and reduced mine to 4 because my morning (ha - all day) sickness is a problem for me. plus, you'll need to eat enough to provide adequate nutrition for the baby. :thumbup:

if you normally do fills under flouro (x-ray), you may want to have them do it without this time.

best of luck to you!

Congrats to you! And, yes, definitely tell your docs what is going on. I got a bit of an unfill as well early on -- no biggie. I know it's a big head-game being so freshly banded, but like the others said, you can pick back up after baby comes.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
