They could technically but they won't be looking at that. Definitely won't have an X-ray while pregnant.

Lol they will be scanning no way near your stomach - they will be looking inside your uterus.

Ultrasounds are safe during pregnancy. But definitely not x-rays. While they could see your sleeve, Nicolanz is right, they won't be looking for that. But are you just wondering about the kind of visibility on these tests or are you asking because you don't want your doctor or the ultrasound techs to know you've been sleeved?

Well they could see it, I just don't know that they'll be looking.

BUT, way more importantly, I completely understand wanting to keep your surgery private, but you need to disclose your surgery to your doctors. It is an important part of your anatomy now and can effect more aspects of your health than you might realize. When pregnant, it's VERY important for both your health and the health of your baby that the doctor know you've had weight loss surgery. If you don't want the technicians to know, they likely wouldn't see it and you don't have to mention it to them, but your doctor NEEDS to know.

Oh good!!! You had me worried for a minute!! :) I really don't think they would see it. I have a lap band and it was in place during both of my pregnancies. I had quite a few ultrasounds with each baby, and even with having a foreign object in my body they didn't see it on ultrasound (or at least never said anything or asked me about it)! I think you'll be fine and they won't even notice!

Yes, the doctor will be removing my band and then perform the sleeve surgery. Hopefully it can all be completed in one surgery. I'm very ready to have my band out and get sleeved!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
