Pregnant

I just found out I am pregnant. This is our fifth pregnancy 4th child. My other are 9, 7, and 4 1/2. This is my first pregnancy post op. I had lap band done in November of 08. Any of you who had a lap band baby, how soon did you call your surgeon, did you call your surgeon and did you have to have a complete unfill?

Thanks for any advice you can give,
Emily

Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS and WELCOME! Not a lapbander but wanted to say welcome just the same even though I have no advice in that department! There are plenty of ladies banded here that I am sure will pop in and offer of some advice!
Best of  luck on a happy and healthy 9 months!!

Did not get banded but I wanted to say congrats and welcome!!

I'm an RNY girl but wanted to say CONGRATS!!  I did just read that one bander got a complete unfil and felt much better.  But I don't know much else...hopefully someone will give you some answers!

CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!
Sandy

Thank you for all the Congrats!

congrats and welcome!

Congrats on your pregnancy.

My physician's philosophy is not to do a deflation unless you are having horrible morning sickness and/or the baby is not gaining properly.  My physician will do a partial deflation in the first trimester if you are having horrible morning sickness and then fill it back in the second trimester. Also, they don't want you throwing up so if you have morning sickness keep zophran (I think that it is how it is spelled) around so if you do it will keep you from throwing up.

There are several people on here who have just had lapband babies (Dev & Chrissy) so they might have some things to offer.

I'm an RNY gal...so no clue re the band...but wanted to say congrats and I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months.

Thank you for all the warm wishes and advice.
