How long after you had your baby did you wait to see your WLS?? 

I had been having minor issues throughout the pregnancy with my band and I want to ask my WLS to do the uper GI as soon as I can to make sure everything is in the right place and all.  I feel the baby kicking against the port all the time too.  The past 2-3 weeks ive been feeling good, eating a little more than usual,but throughout the pregnancy i wasnt eating much and did PB even after my band was unfilled....just trying to get input

Starting Sleeve Weight (2/25/13) - 233

Current Weight (7/1/13) - 197

Here is my story...

I had a little taken out my first trimester due to all day nautea and so I could eat a little more. I kept that through my entire pregnancy.

I talked to my OB about the band and my fear of not being able to eat anything. She put in a order after I delivered for liquid everything (iron, pain medicine, and then cruised pill in pudding was something). She also ordered a liquid/soft food tray. So, I had things like soup, mashed potatoes, etc. Thank goodness becuase I coudln't eat ANYTHING! I just was really easy on my band for a few days. My hormones really messed with my band. I went to him 12 weeks post-partum. I probably could have gone 8 weeks post-partum.

I would say if you are having issues, then you need to go see them whenever. I just knew I would be tight after delivery (I had a c-section) and so I prepared in advance for it.
