Morning Sickness and the Band

[MelissaGreen 2]

So I am not planning on getting my band unfilled if I dont have to, but I have been having morning sickness. Should I be worried about my band slipping?

You should definitely talk to your doctor as frequent vomiting can cause the band to slip. Keep those crackers handy and take care.

I too had EXTREMELY bad morning sickness with this pregnancy. My doctor has had me on several different sickness meds and we've tried alternating them and now i'm taking Zofran twice a day and i still throw up atleast once a day. I am now 14 weeks and it is startin to ease up a lil thank goodness. I just had a little taken out of my band several days ago and it was more because my stomach was a little irritated from throwing up so much i think i was a little too tight from all the irritation. Other than that i had no problems. DEFINITELY talk with your doctor/surgeon first to see if he has any concerns.

Hope all goes good for you!!

Thanks for the reply, I didn't think you could take any kind of meds when you were pregnant I guess I need to go see a doctor . I have contacted my doc but he hasn't returned my call yet.

Thank again to both of you.

Zofran is safe to take while pregnant, there are a lot of drugs that you can take while pregnant Zofran is a miracle drug in my opinion...it really helped me and I had very bad morning sickness..I hope it helps and goes away, good luck and congrats on your pregnancy
