desperate...please read...

hi everyone,
i had lapband surgery in feb 09 this year ...i have had two fills under fluro...apparently the second one i had i was pregnant and didnt know it. i am devastated because i went to my OBGYN and he is sending my husband and i to a genetic counselor. apparently they will go over the risk factors with us since my husband had cancer this year and received radioactive radiation...and i got a fill under fluro (which is like straight radiation to the fetus). i feel uncomfortable putting my business out on the board...but i am desperate to find out if anyone out there had a fill under fluro and was pregnant? i am only between 4-5 weeks along and the fill was done around week two. unforunately from the few doctors and people i have talkd to this will be a severly high risk (bad birth defects and possible child having leukemia or some other form of cancer) due to radiation exposure. as you can imagine i am devasted and looking for a miracle. please share any stories that are related....thanks for listening!

I don't really know I just wanted to send support your way.
I hope everything works out.

No experience myself just wanted to say good luck to you!!

If I were you, I would contact The March of Dimes and talk to them.

Hi Tricia,

I'm sure this is all overwhelming and terrifying at the same time.  I don't have a band or any experience, but this link may provide more information from others that have been through what you're going through:

Obviously, the Internet is full of good and bad information, so take it all with a grain of salt and make sure you follow what your doctors are telling you over anyone here online.

Hugs, thoughts and prayers,

I can't really add anything to this but just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and your family... it sounds like it has been a hard year... hang in there... things happen for a reason... even if we don't get it... hugs!

Tricia,

Wow, I'm so sorry!  I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.  

It might be something worth posting on the band board -- if you feel like it -- to let others know.  In over a year, I don't think I've ever read a post about this and had never thought about it.

Hi Tricia ...
I dont have any experience with this, but wanted to just tell you that I am sorry, and I hope that the doctors have more good information for you. We will all keep you in our thoughts and prayers ... this is a really supportive board, and you can always come here to talk ...

Hi Tricia....

I too have no advice but I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers....a long year for you and your hubby but this could be the miracle....am praying that way....every BODY is different and I am praying God blesses you with a strong and healthy baby....

Many prayers and hugs to you!

Were you 2 weeks in pg talk or was the fetus actually 2 weeks old?  There's a difference!  If you were 2 weeks in prego talk then your baby may not even be affected, right?  Because we aren't really actually pregnant the first two weeks.  At least, that's what I'm hoping for for you!!

Hope you get some good news.  Good luck!
