Has anyone experience tightening of the band while preganant?  I am sure the answer is yes, but just thought I would ask.

 I didn't, but I know others did!  It makes sense, since you can retain a lot of fluids when pregnant!

Banded 03/22/06  276/261/184 (highest/surgery/lowest)

Sleeved 07/11/2013  228/165 (surgery/current) (111lbs lost)

I did but mine was mostly a reaction to all the morning sickness throwing up I was doing!!!  I held on to the restriction as long as I could and then at about 12-14 preggo I ended up getting an unfill.  It's been a challenge.  I am freakin' hungry all the time!  I have already gained too much.  Tomorrow I'll be 27 weeks and so far I have gained 23 pounds.  My doctor doesn't want me to gain anything else for the next 13 weeks! Yikes!

It is normal - talk to your surgeon. Not all docs will require an unfill, especially if you are getting adequate nutrition.  My situation was just that I wasn't able to keep ANYTHING down at that point.  You'll be fine. :)

Love, Riah

I was banded in April and fell pregnant 6 weeks later, after being told it was unlikely I would conceive.  i am now 11 weeks. I have 3ml in a 10ml band and am sooooooo tight you cannot believe.  i put it down to the fact that I have a cold at the moment and am, stressed due to being in the process of moving house, (am sorrounded by boxes as i type) Possibly due to pregnancy, never thought of that!
I have gained and lost the same ten pounds so many times over and over again my cellulite must have déjà vu.
