I just found out I am pregnant again last Friday!!! Im due October 28th. This is baby #4 for us and band baby #2. We are so excited!! So far Im not feeling too badly, but about 11wks in my last pregnancy I had to get my band unfilled. Im hoping that this time wont be quite as bad (my gall bladder also went bad which I think was part of the problem).

Just wanted to share my excitement :)

Wow, baby #4! Congratulations! That's a lot of work! You won't need the band running after 4 kids! LOL. I only have 2 and it wore me out! One of my babies turn 21 on the 21st of October, it a great month! Congratulations again, there is no time that is more exciting than expecting a new baby!

So I ended up in the ER on Monday because my morning sickness was so bad that my band was so unbelieveably restricted. They gave me IV fluids and emptied my band but even after a few days later I am still struggling to eat certain foods. Could my stomach still be swollen from all of the vomiting :( I know they took it all out because I only had about 4.6 and I watched her take it out. Im just worried there still might be a problem. I know I need to "ease" back into eating, but knowing I could eat a breadstick or two finally really made me want to have them.

Hope all you other preggo ladies are doing well. Happy Easter!

Congrats on baby #4. I'm on #4 as well. After 2, whats a couple more, right? ;) I'm 16 weeks along and starting to get a little paranoid that I'm not eating enough. I've only gained about 3 maybe 4 lbs so far and it just worries me being this far along now. I had really bad nausea that started in week 4 and lasted until about week 13-14, but I only ever threw up a hand full of times, but the thought of eating was so unappealing. Ugh!

I have my appetite back to normal, but still feel like its not enough to grow a little person :( My husband has mentioned it over the last few days and so tomorrow I have an OB appt so I'm going to talk with her and see what she thinks about where I am with weight. Before the band I was 192, and pre-pregnancy I was hovering between 157-160. Now I'm going between 159-161. I haven't gotten ANY unfills yet, and sometimes things get stuck, but usually when I'm eating too fast or taking too big a bite. And of course if I eat too much I get that uncomfortable "after Thanksgiving" kinda full feeling

So being how you are on band baby #2, any advice? When did you get an unfill, if ever? And when did you know it was time for one? How was your weight gain? Of course I don't want to blow up, but I want to make sure I'm eating ENOUGH to have a healthy baby. :-/

I would guess you are still swollen! If you were throwing up a lot then it may take a while for the swelling to go down :(

Think so Erin. I've been feeling a little better, just patiently waiting for the next few weeks to tick by so this morning sickness goes away lol. How are you feeling??

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
