7 weeks pregnant

just keep in mind, I read that when you're preggers you get tighter, a lot of people found out they are pregnant just by the band tightness in the AM (or PM). Hope all is well! No regrets! Good luck

I have gained close to 10lbs this month! I just went for my 8 week check up and ultra sound and everything looks good but OMG the weight is KILLING ME! I had just had a big meal and a lot of liquids so lets say MAYBE 7lb gain but my doctor tells me that 8 lbs is the total I should be gaining for the first 20 weeks! That means I shouldnt gain anything more for the next 3 months. I am kind of upset about this - can you tell?

I understand. With my first pregnancy I gained a total of about 45 pounds lol...my son was born at 2 pounds 4 ounces lol...I went what the heck!!!?? lol This time so far I have actually lost weight...I started at around 204 and I'm at 193 as of today

My band got way too tight when I was pregnant . . . but it did it sporadically and I needed emergency unfills three times during pregnancy until I was emptied completely For some of us, we really do need to just take the Fluid out.

I went from my lowest weight 138 to 188 the day of delivery. Now at two months out I am back down to 140 pounds. I gained quite a bit but it came off easy as pie and I have not had a fill yet.

Don't worry so much about gaining a bit during pregnancy. Just think about that healthy baby and that your band is there for you when pregnancy is finished.

THank you so much for that! I am trying not to worry but I bet I gain 50lbs if I am lucky only 50lbs. The nausea combined with being unfilled has made me a nightmare - I just get flashbacks to my out-of-contril eating before. I need to remember that I will get filled after I give birth and eventually lose that weight! It really helps to hear that you went through it.

OMG! Thank goodness I am not the only one that is feeling like complete poo! I am 6 and a half weeks pregnant and I have had my lapband a yr as of July 30th. Found out I was pregnant like 4 days before my year anniversary, so I almost made that recommended year date LoL! I have lost 2lbs, which is good but IDK how long thats going to last. When I am nauseated the best thing is to try and eat. Weird...but hopefully I don't gain too much. Hope everyone has a great pregnancy and can't wait to share stories and help each other out! I haven't been on this forum in awhile and have totally missed it! :drool: Anyones OB recommend unfilling right away?

I'm in my third month and still no unfill or tightening yet. I go in to see my regular OB on Tuesday and am still waiting on the referal for the high risk OB to go through...we'll see :thumbup:
