I know women can get pregnant with a band. The doc asks you wait 12-18months post-op. I had a port that flipped, here recently.... and it cause A LOT of pain for a couple of days. That could have happened. I feel it move around some, esp when I run my hand over it, or excerise. I go in next week to have it fixed.. You might want to call ur surgeon tho. Your port is stitched to your abdominal wall... and with your belly about to start stretching out, idk.... Oh, and they may want to take Fluid out of your band a little ways into your pregnancy. Best of luck!!
