2 Postive Pregnancy Tests, am I pregnant



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I posted a few weeks ago asking questions about people being banded and being pregnant well I was just asking for future references and thats if I was going to have one more child and guess what happened yesterday...I took 2 home pregancy test and both are positive!!!!!

I almost had a heart attack and I still can't believe it, I am going to go in about 1/2 an hour to a clinic that does blood tests and give you results right away to make sure that I am. I am so scared since my second pregnancy was such a nightmare!!!!

We were broken up for a month and then we decided that we had 2 years invested so we where going to try again and then this, he has no children so he is so excited, I on the other hand I am more freaked out about the whole thing but hey as time goes by I will get over it.

I am also afraid of messing up my band!!! I will tell my kids after my first doctors appointment next week. Thanks everyone for your good advice I really need it today!!!

I'm so glad he's excited! A happy dad makes a big difference when you are experiencing a surprise pregnancy. Tell him Congrats!

Don't worry about your band, unless you have been experiencing any morning sickness? Now is the time for it, if you will get it. Both of my pregnancies were different; they all are, so don't worry, just enjoy!!

Next call may be your band doc. I'm assuming your OBGyn will recommend an unfill? Or at least a few visit's with the nutritionist to discuss your calorie intake and whether or not you need an unfill right now. I'd think that being banded, nutritionist visits would be covered with your prenatal needs.

Anyhow, I cannot for the life of me find those links, but I'll keep looking.

It's funny becuase a cousin of mine just found out she is also pregnant but she is due in February, in my family there is always 2 or 3 pregnant people at the same time.

I will find out if I need an unfill becuase I want to have a healthy baby, (hopefully a girl I already have 2 boys 10 & 5).

Esmeralda, my band sister got pregnant 4 months after her band surgery and had 2 fills prior to her pregnancy , she was never unfilled and had a beautiful healthy baby boy. She is a member here, her names Vtobon, send her a PM she will be glad to answer any questions you might have.

      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.
