well, as the title says im 7 weeks pregnant, and feeling rubbish, i feel nauseaus all day, am a little bit sick in the morning, but the feeling sick all day is horrible.

Im trying to eat little and often, but iam really struggling to eat, i can hardly eat meat, or bread, or fish etc, it just gets stuck.

Iam so miserable and wish i had never gotten my band, i dont know if its just the morning (all day) sickness or if my band has gotten tight, i dont know if i should get an unfill??

I was self-pay for my band, and basically got the band, and thats it was discharged, i dont see a dr reguarly or anything, any help would really be appreciated.

I have gained close to 10lbs this month! I just went for my 8 week check up and ultra sound and everything looks good but OMG the weight is KILLING ME! I had just had a big meal and a lot of liquids so lets say MAYBE 7lb gain but my doctor tells me that 8 lbs is the total I should be gaining for the first 20 weeks! That means I shouldnt gain anything more for the next 3 months. I am kind of upset about this - can you tell?

I understand. With my first pregnancy I gained a total of about 45 pounds lol...my son was born at 2 pounds 4 ounces lol...I went what the heck!!!?? lol This time so far I have actually lost weight...I started at around 204 and I'm at 193 as of today

My band got way too tight when I was pregnant . . . but it did it sporadically and I needed emergency unfills three times during pregnancy until I was emptied completely For some of us, we really do need to just take the Fluid out.

I went from my lowest weight 138 to 188 the day of delivery. Now at two months out I am back down to 140 pounds. I gained quite a bit but it came off easy as pie and I have not had a fill yet.

Don't worry so much about gaining a bit during pregnancy. Just think about that healthy baby and that your band is there for you when pregnancy is finished.

THank you so much for that! I am trying not to worry but I bet I gain 50lbs if I am lucky only 50lbs. The nausea combined with being unfilled has made me a nightmare - I just get flashbacks to my out-of-contril eating before. I need to remember that I will get filled after I give birth and eventually lose that weight! It really helps to hear that you went through it.

OMG! Thank goodness I am not the only one that is feeling like complete poo! I am 6 and a half weeks pregnant and I have had my lapband a yr as of July 30th. Found out I was pregnant like 4 days before my year anniversary, so I almost made that recommended year date LoL! I have lost 2lbs, which is good but IDK how long thats going to last. When I am nauseated the best thing is to try and eat. Weird...but hopefully I don't gain too much. Hope everyone has a great pregnancy and can't wait to share stories and help each other out! I haven't been on this forum in awhile and have totally missed it! :drool: Anyones OB recommend unfilling right away?

I feel u all....before i found out i was pregnant i had 5.25cc in my band and i got some fluid removed now i have 5cc's and am eatin like a horse...as of right now i def dont need to get unfilled because nothin is gettin stuck and i feel fine...anyone keep their fill in there whole pregnancy?? or is it just to early for my band to get tight?

I'm in my third month and still no unfill or tightening yet. I go in to see my regular OB on Tuesday and am still waiting on the referal for the high risk OB to go through...we'll see :thumbup:
