    I’m having all three tomorrow and have spent so much time reading, lurking and commenting on this site re: the bypass that I have neglected my info gathering on the hernias. I’ve read several posts regarding hiatal hernia and a couple of folks out there with umbilical hernias but none with my special combination. I know you’re out there! What is the most challenging part of the recovery with all three? Personal experiences and anecdotes from friends wanted!

    I had a small hiatal hernia repaired along with my bypass. I never knew the hernia was there before my EGD two months pre op. I don’t believe my recover was any different than anyone else’s but things went smoothly all the way around for me.

    I would take them all with you to the dr. You may be doubling up on the folic acid since it would likely be in your prenatal too. They ought to be able to look at the levels in your multi and let you know if there is anything missing or that should be avoided for a safe pregnancy. They may not do an ultrasound if you are only 6 weeks. I feel like with both of my boys we couldn't find a heartbeat until at least 7 weeks on ultrasound (they are too small, not because there is anything wrong!). Congratulations!!

    Congrats on the safe pregnancy and delivery!!!! The more liquids in you the more breast milk you'll produce, however limiting calories too much may not be the best plan because you will have a very hard time keeping up with life (and a new born) on low energy I've seen a lot of people on social media (Instagram etc) go super hard with their plans being extremely aware/routine and loosing the baby weight. Eating protein , dairy and vegetables Nothing else Safe Journey again !

    Lap Band 11 years out

    I got to that point about 4 years in or so. Nothing I did would get me to stay under the 300 mark. Ultimately, I was revised to the bypass. My surgeon advised me that the Lapband was over hyped and under performed, that 2 of the largest manufacturers have sold off or stopped making new or replacement parts for their versions of the bands. When they removed the band, even though I didn't have any major issues going to the revision, the band was 100% encapsulated in scar tissue and took my surgical team more than 3 times longer to remove it than it should have taken. I'd hate to think what would have happened if I left it in!

    9 months post op and thanks to a birthday in July and using a bad scale at a doctors office I thought I lost and gained but there was literally no change , for a month. Lol. Welcome to the slow down. Now im Focusing on self image, because I'm still dealing with body dysmorphia. Just yesterday I bought a gorgeous bra set , non returnable, and it was too big. But I think I kinda knew it was too big , I just can't stop shopping for the old me. Anyone else do dumb sh#+ like this? Lol
