When did Pregnancy/Band sypmtoms start???

[Bean333 0]

Hello all!

I have been reading several posts and hear a lot about women that have had to unfill becasue of pregnancy. I may be pregnant and am wondering when did the "extra" tightness start. I have read a few posts from ladies that are only about 5-6 weeks, but no one says when the issues first began. Help, I need info!

I can't share from personal experience but would like to know the answer to this one as well. My husband and I are interested in having a baby next year.

Nothing yet....I can pretty much eat whatever I want. I don't think you'll find a direct answer on this though. We're all different and started with different fill levels. I was actually about to call for a fill when I found out I was pregnant so I'm pretty loose at the moment.

my fill got tight about 6-7 weeks and i went in for a slight unfill (1/2). starting about 11-12 weeks, i started getting loose again and went in and had a few cc's put back in.

good luck

My initial unfill was at about 6 weeks. After that, it was smooth sailing until about 30 weeks, when I got the rest out. Believe it or not, with my band empty, I still have quite a bit of restriction depending on the day. I'm so glad all my Fluid is out right now!

I think it depends on you and you pregnancy.. everyone is different.. the important thing is getting enough nutrients to the baby.. I have heard that some people get totally unfilled while others stay filled. I was so sick with my first one that I cant imagine not getting a total unfill.. I was losing weight with my first and no band. :tongue:

I had a band baby back in April 06 and my band had 2.2 cc in it so at 9 weeks I had half removed and was left with 1.1 cc after I was really luck that I only gained 23 pounds the entire pregnancy. Good luck

I had a complete unfill at 5 weeks because I was really morning sick (3-4 times per day). Then I got refilled at about 18 weeks. Then another complete unfill at 32 weeks because of acid reflux. I think every person is different but my doctor has been really great about giving me fills and unfills to keep me comfortable. I'm due in about 4 weeks and looking forward to getting filled back up after the baby is born.
