6 months out and pregnant



Recommended Posts

I was banded on Jan 23, 2008 at Eglin Hosp. Three days after my husband left for a four month deployment. I have lost nearly 45lbs with 65 to go. The hubby is now home and happy to be here. Then on the 15th I found out that I am pregnant. I can't help but be nervous. I original surgeon has left and I now have another surgeon who is caring for me but I'm concerned. He wants to take all of the Fluid out my band. I have read that it isn't necessary to remove all of the fluid. But he is bent on removing all of my fluid. I just don't know what to do. I am really not comfortable with this new surgeon or his nurse. I want other options. Anybody got any advice

check the prego forum and see others experience, but if he wants to take the Fluid out because he is worried about the baby let him. The baby comes first. You can always restart after you deliver a nice healthy child.

My surgeon told me that if I was to get pregnant that they would completely unfill my band so that could get down more nutrition...now that you are pregnant you have to think of what is best for your baby...you can lose weight after :cursing: good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
