lab band and pregnancy

[ltoni90 2]

just wondering to anyone who has the lap band if you have gone through pregnancy how was it with the lap band? I am terrified for the future when I'm ready to have a baby about having my lap band in. I'm mostly scared about my port because it's placed near my upper abs. I keep thinking how painful it will be when my stomach grows bigger and if the port site will hurt or cause a problem.

I had the band and was pregnant with it. I recently got revised to the sleeve but while I was preg I had the bad. It was perfectly fine. Didn't have a lot of saline in so I gained a lot of weight. My OB wanted me to get w fill but my old surgeon wouldn't do it and I didn't want it. Otherwise I didn't really feel anything weird bc of band.

I know when you become pregnant with the band they are supposed to remove all the saline fill but I'm more scared of pain where my port is like when the belly grows. I've read some things about people getting bruises there and having pain while pregnant so it makes me nervous but thank you

I just had a baby in November..I've had the band for 5 years now...pregnancy was fine...as my belly grew I had more restriction...I never removed any Fluid...I did have some pain on my left side late in pregnancy after eating dense foods...so I ate a lot of soft stuff..my port area did get sore near the end and really stuck out but not unbearable. ..however I did suffer bad heart burn and acid reflux that I'm still suffering with
