So, since Sunday I had pains in my stomach. I ate food at a restuarant for dinner. Rice, Tofu, and some onion and mushrooms. Later when I stood up to leave, the pains hit. At first I didnt know why I was hurting. I thought it was a bad case of gas (I sometimes have gas pain in the evenings). Or even, I ate too much.

But I kept getting stomach aches. So I thought, I'm due for that time of the month, so must be that. When it didnt come, I decided to take a pregnancy test. It came up POSITIVE. I took 4 of them, all the same result. I couldnt believe it! we tried for 6 months before I decided to have the band, and nothing happened. I thought it was because of my weight, and I wanted to do something about it. We stopped trying to have a baby, with the goal to lose about 20 or 25kgs before trying again. Isnt it funny the minute you stop trying, it happens??

I'm more than happy about the pregnancy, but I feel it just isnt the right time because I was so focused on my weight loss. I know I can lose again after birth, but I really wanted to get a fair chunk off before having another baby. BUT that being said, I want this baby more than anything, so my weight problems can wait!!

So I thought I had found the reason for my stomach pains, but still I havent. I dont think its cramping, I feel it really is my band. I notice more and more it happens after food. Doc was closed yesterday and I barely ate because I didnt want to be in pain. I took all my vitamins and supplements, but I cant keep going like this. So, I'm going to the docs now to get it checked out.

Please cross your fingers for me that it isnt a band slip. I dont know how I can deal with that right now!!

On another note, I'm down 13kgs/28.6lbs since feb 13. I'm currently weighing 92kgs/202.4lbs. I'm so close to my 200 goal, I'm sure with a little morning sickness, I'll make it soon!!

Well Amanda, congrats is in order, another one on the way. Hope your pains subside. I would check with the doc to see if your band did slip. I will probably go see the doc the end of Apr for my 4th FILL. Think I am about ready for it. Well you take care.

Hi!!! OMG we are on the same page. Banded Dec 10th got pregnant Jan 14th! LOL ...I had real mixed feeling too at first, I was so focused on the weight lose that I was really down I was going to have to start gaining. But, now I am loving it, and know that I will be able to lose it again. I am 13wks and still am losing. The doc said its normal and the baby is looking great. Take care and congrats! Ps keep me posted! Pps I have a friend on here who is preggers too....so this should be fun to stay posted!

Congratulations!! I know your exact feelings. I was one year out from surgery and just getting into my groove when boom pregnancy happened. I also had mixed feelings. I am now 23 1/2 weeks pregnant and only gained 10 lbs. so far a far cry from the 50 I gained with my first pregnancy. I know it will come off after the baby is born and I am now very excited to have a new baby in July. Take care, I hope everything is ok with your band.
