I messed up. Pregnant 37 days post op



Recommended Posts

I'm horrified about the what ifs. Don't know what to do. Scared to tell my surgeon. I have not been losing weight I have only lost 11 lbs post op but my blood sugar has regulated so its not all for nothing. I see a lot of people who have miscarried. Can anyone shed some light on being pregnant this soon after being banded??

Awwww, sweetie, don't be scared to tell him, I'm sure he has heard & seen it ALL. When you say you've seen people who have missed carried, do you mean banded people?? I don't know too much about getting pregnant so soon, my surgeon required we visited a family planning clinic, and I'm on an IUD; first time ever on birth control. I'm sure there's light at the end of the tunnel for you. Don't be so scared. And MAKE THAT CALL!! (((Kisses & Huggz)))

Thanks ladies. And yes, I am referring to banded women who have miscarried. But I've also seen people stories now about people who are banded and make it out just fine. I am going to call my obgyn and my surgeon on Monday. His office never said anything to me about pregnancy at all during my times I had spent there. One of the nurses who works in his office just made a joke about how the nickname for it should be the fertile band. Pregnancy was not even on my mind, so I never even asked my doc about it. Sigh, wish me luck guys lol.

A friend who got banded 6 months after me found out she was pregnant just one month after she was banded too. She has PCOS and hadn't had a period in years until her pre-op diet, so it was a wee bit of a surprise, suffice to say! She'd had one fill so they removed it and she had an uneventful pregnancy, had a bouncing baby boy, and after she'd finished breastfeeding, they recommenced her fills and she lost all her excess weight.

Talk to your lapband surgeon and talk to your obgyn. I don't think you have anything to be stressed about. And congratulations!

Thanks lellow! I love a good happy ending. I've had only had one fill myself (this past Friday) and my dr would not tell me how much he put in. Lol he said I will try and compare with my other band buddies and its not important. I'm glad your friend had a healthy baby and pregnancy. Praying for the same

The lapband would have no effect on a miscarriage, so don't stress on that. Stress however, could. I am on band baby #2 and I've had healthy pregnancies/babies. Just get in to see your docs and work out a plan. :) You'll be fine. Congrats and good luck hun!! <3

I got pregnant one month later the band. I never had a fill so there was no reason to take out any Fluid. It was really fine. After you have the baby it will just be like starting over

Sparkles-how are things going? Did you see your surgeon and confirm the pregnancy?

Hi ladies sorry I was MIA, I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. I am looking forward to using my lapband to help me move forward! I will say I am a diabetic and I did gain a little weight :( I never even got to see my surgeon but I did call his office and they told me to just keep my follow up appt with him. Hopefully the next time I get preggo will be a success!! Thanks girls <3

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
