Anyone pregnant or has been pregnant with Lap Band in?
by diva_lorri, Apr 25, 2008 10:34PM
Hi all -
I had Lap Band surgery about 2 years and it was a little bit succesful at first but has failed me. Probably alot to do with my own issues also. Anyway...
Im 6months pregnant finally after a long battle trying to conceive and have a big tummy anyway but I now I have been popping out 'up top' where as i only had a puch below before. I can feel my port and what I think is my band right underneath the skin. I realise this is only a normal progression that everything moves out and up but... will it poke out of my skin eventually and be visible (under the skin i mean). Also Ive heard that your port can be dislodged by the baby. Has anyone here been pregnant and what did they experience band wise.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I'm Peekawho, CL of the Maternal/Child forum. I stop by here from time to time, b/c I'm also interested in the topics of nutrition, diet, and weight loss.
Of course you should be consulting right away with the surgeon who did your lap band, and with your OB. Together,, they should work out a plan for the best course of action to take.
I'd love to invite you to stop by the Maternal/Child forum, found here:
http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/82?camp=msc&;personal_page_id=496
Or by going to the top of the page to where it says FORUMS. click on that, then look to the Left side of the screen, where it says Medical Support Communities. You will see maternal/Child located there.
Good luck with your pregnancy! Hope it all goes smoothly.
