I too took nausea pills while pregnant, it was fine with my band Dr., but the nausea pills really didn't work for me so I stopped taking them, and lived off of ginger chews. You can find them in any health food store, they also have ginger suckers.

I have had two babies since I was banded in 2010, and with each of them I had half my fill removed. The reason for my partial fill removal was that I had such bad morning sickness, but I was to stubborn to get it all taken out. The more my belly grew the tighter my band got on its own, so it was like I had just gotten a fill. Now I didn't lose any weight while I was pregnant but I didn't gain any either. I breastfeed both my girls, and I am currently breastfeeding. I just have to make sure I am drinking LOTS of Fluid or I have hardly any milk, and I have to snack constantly throughout the day or I get super lightheaded. But if your Dr. wants to remove all or some of the fill I would recommend it, you can always get back on track after having your baby, it's better to be safe than sorry you don't want to loose your band due to a slip.

I hope you get things worked out for the best whatever that may be. I have lost slowly with the band and i am good with that. My doctor is not super aggressive with fills. He says that better to go slow and creep up on the green zone than to get in the red and have to have some out. I do know that one day something will go down just fine and another day the same food might cause a little trouble. I try to be careful with every bite and eat slowly. I find that eating slowly will give the previous bite a chance to get down there and see if there is going to be any problems. You don't want to pile on a problem bite on top of problem bite and than later you are in for it. There is a learning curve for sure. Pasta and bread should be a no no...I do still occasionally have a piece of toast but no bread and no Pasta. I don't know if anything in my experience will resonate with you or help, but there you have it. Best wishes to you again, whatever the outcome!
