Congratulations!

If you are having a hard time eating solid Protein, I would recommend getting a slight unfill at the minimum.

congratulations, what a blessing. Don't worry about gaining weight because you will have to for the baby. You don't have to eat twice as much. You can continue to eat healthy and even exercise which is really good for labor preperation. I have been able to loose all of my baby weight within two months after having all three of my children. The problem with me which is why I was banded was to continue good eating habits.

Good luck and God bless you and the baby.

i, too, suggest a slight unfill. regarding the weight gain, try to be careful, but just know that after delivery, you will still have your tool in place.

good luck! :cursing:

Congratulations and good luck!!!!

I also agree with the slight unfill. You may also find that your band sometimes gets really tight with pregnancy which can be rather unpleasant. Please keep us updated with how you are doing :0)

Hi guys,

So I got the de fill and went down from 7 cc's to 5 cc's. OMG I can eat too much now. I feel as though I was never banded and that scares me. I am trying to eat very balanced and healthy but am not used to the quantity. I gained 3 lbs. Guys I am so very scared right now.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
