Allison.birch 15 Posted October 6, 2013 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? 2 chasingadream and SeaSounders♥ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fritzy1980 25 Posted October 8, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
