The Band and Pregnancy
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)
Mom to two of the cutest boys on earth.
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. :)

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!
