Went to see the surgeon today.

He was so nice about me being preggers. I lost 7 pound this month. He told me I could keep my fill for now. The baby would take what it needed. But if I was losing too much, needed to be looser for Vitamins, had m/s he would be happy to unfill me. For now I have chosen to stay at my fill and see how it goes. I can go in anytime to get unfilled. I am getting about 1000 cal a day. I know it is not alot but I have very low metabolic rate :eek::eek: He said we just need to follow me and the baby very carefully. Blood tests , US and the such. So I am going to wait till next month when I see the OB and see what he says unless something changes between now and then.

Jill.....Congratulations on your pregnancy!Does your OB already know you have the band? It's great that you spoke to your surgeon but, I'd highly suggest you speak with the OB regarding your caloric intake prior to next month. Surgeons know alot but, OBs know more about pregnancies. Just my humble opinion. Best wishes for you and baby!

I talked with the OB nurse, she said it was probably ok. I have an appt with him coming up and I will go from there. So far I have mantained no loss no gain. I am fine with that.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
