I remember I think it was a few weeks ago she was travelling to London and she said this is nothing to get anxious about... no photo shoots or anything, just a doctors appointment (about baby). I found that a bit odd at the time that someone with “anxiety” wouldn’t be anxious about going to doctors (I know I am). But I find it pretty unbelievable now that I’ve read that the gastric band is still there!! Wouldn’t that be really scary if ur pregnant???
I dont think Gastric band would affect a pregnancy. Baby isnt any where near your stomach and as the uterus grows up the organs all get squished out the way

Researchers found that most women who get pregnant after bariatric surgery would have no complications, with one study suggesting 79% would have a straightforward pregnancy.
But there can be surgical complications with the potential for a gastric band to slip or move during pregnancy, leading to severe vomiting.
One study found that band leakage was reported in 24% of pregnancies.
Women who become pregnant after weight loss surgery should be managed by a team of experts that includes an obstetrician, surgeon, fertility specialist and nutritionist, the review recommends.
The researchers also pointed out that the female patients should receive advice and information before they got pregnant, on contraception, nutrition and weight gain, and vitamin supplements.
Advising women who have had weight loss surgery to wait at least 12 months before trying to conceive, they pointed to research showing an increased risk of miscarriage.
