One year Bandiversary and Pregnant!!!!

vintagehound · July 22, 2007

What a year it has been! I am so glad I went on this journey and I love my band.

I had the band put on July 21, 06 and was told by the doctor I had a large cyst on my ovary. After coming home and finally going in for cyst surgery, It had grown to the size of a watermellon and went up to my ribs, it was 8 lbs of fluid! I had to have major surgery to get it out. I was laid up a bit and lost my right ovary. Due to only having one ovary and PCOS, I really thought I would need medication later to get pregnant. Here I am July of 07, 53 lbs down and only 3 lbs away from onederland and bang, PREGNANT! I am 35, have never been pregnant before, and suffering nausea. I am at a quandry about weather to have a unfill, I was at perfect restriction! I would love to hear from any other pregnant banders to share their past or current experiences. I will be 2 months at the end of this month. I am so glad I lost the weight I did before I got prego! Please any advice and information from pregnant bandsters is appreciated!

I love all you guys for your support!

That is AWESOME!!!! I'm so happy for you! I'm 34 and hoping to be in your boat in the next year or so.

I've read most of the pregnancy threads on here. Wanting to get pregnant was one of the final deciding factors of me getting the band. From what I've read, most people have a complete unfill if they think they are going to vomit during the sickness. When I was pregnant with my son I became very nausious (sp?) but I didn't actually throw up. I think in that case they might give me a slight but not complete unfill.

Please keep us informed! LIke I said, I read all the pregnancy threads in hope!!
