I just found out I am six weeks pregnant! I had my surgery on October10th of last year. Since then, I have lost 90 pounds. I m so thankful for the band giving me this opportunity. I honestly don't think I could save ever gotten pregnant without losing the weight. I am going to see my band doctor on the 17th. They acted like they removed all fluids during a pregnancy. Is that normal?

My surgeon removed 1.5ccs when I was 6 weeks along. He said normally they don't remove any unless there is a problem. Ie: morning sickness that occurs with vomiting or feeling stuck or tight. I was feeling things sticking on their way down. He said if it happens again he can take more out, but so far so good. I'm 16 weeks now.
