Did anyone notice that foods they ate before getting pregnant get stuck? Two times today food that I always eat got stuck. Like the pressure/burp/discomfort feeling. Or did you ever have this happen with pms? Just find it weird. Haven't had a fill recently and eating hasn't changed.

Ok I am not pregnant but I can tell you from experience the band is fickle. I have not had a fill since Jan 3oth this year and I eat pretty much the same food all the time and what goes down one day may find difficulty another day. No one can explain this including the physicians. I notice my band tightens early mornings and when ever I am stressed or have been sick, like with the flu. Hope that helps!

I feel your pain, I have a drs appt tomorrow. For 3 weeks now everything and I mean everything gets stuck in my chest it doesn't even reach my stomach. The pain is so bad I have to stick my fingers down my throat and then nothing but yellow bile comes up in globs. I'm really scared, anyone have any idea what the dr is going to say about this.

I haven't had a fill in months either and there are days I can eat just about anything and eat more than I should of it. Then there are days I am lucky to get Water down. There is no rhyme or reason. I have journaled daily to look for patterns, and once i think I have it figured out, the theory gets blown. Who knows. I agree with whoever said the band is very fickle!! I know my period plays a huge part in my bad being really tight though. I can't imagine what would happen during pregnancy as hormones are raging!! It sounds like we are all experience similar things though so it must be somewhat normal.

The throwing up of the yellow bile sounds like no fun. My guess is your band is too tight and no food is going down and you are super swollen from all of the vomitting. Try a liquid diet for a couple days and see if that helps!!

I think I'll try that liquid diet and also see what the dr says tomorrow. Thanks for the advise!

When I was pregnant with my band baby, I ended up having to get some fill taken out because I just couldnt get anything down. Pregnancy does funny things to your body!

Just remember when you're pregnant, everything swells.

I have 0 CCs in my band I am 29 weeks preg and cannot keep anything down and have lost 6 lbs ! Worried has this happend to anyone else . Really worried !

I know girls that don't have the band that had that happen when pregnant. Happens to some people....sorry your not having an enjoyable pregnancy thus far.

I'm unable to keep anything down bc of the band not nausea . My first pregnacy I gain like 70 lbs obviously pre band . Just wondering if anyone else had had any problems like this . My band doc is worried and wants to x ray band but my obgyn thinks baby is growing fine ? I don't know what todo . Kinda freaked out . Some days i can't drink water

Oh! That is no good. Hopefully they figure out why

Sounds like you have an irritated esophagus. I had that problem last summer. I had to get my band emptied but if yours is already empty I'm not sure what they would be able to do. Have you told your ob you can't even keep water down? You would think they would be concerned since they prefer you to get all your essential nutrients in everyday.

Well currently being transferred to hospital diagnosed with slipped band and having emergency removal I'm 31 Weeks pregnant !

Best wishes, keep us posted.

Ok guys this whole ordeal has been a mess. I went to the emergency room initially bc I have not been able to keep soup or even water down . This problem even with a completely empty band . No fluid. !!!!????? Granted I am 31 weeks preg. But I had all fluid out at 10 weeks but it has been a constant struggle to eat anything . So back to the fact I went to the emergency room for dehydration . I was losing weight I list 8 lbs in one week . They took and x ray of the band and told me it slipped and they were contacting my surgeon . dr. Hollis. He said you need I have emergency surgery to have the band removed . They informed me that I could not release me bc I was unable to eat or drink . So here we go . It took two hour to set up a transfer to the hospital my surgeon has rights at . So finally approved for transfer at 7 at night . I get to the other hospital and no one knew what was going on or the situation. So they decide to have me take a barium swallow . Keep in mind I'm preg so just loading my baby up with radiation . So I took a swig of fluid they snapped a shot and it was just sitting in the pouch . We waited 10 mins took another shot ad a little had trickled through. On a completly empty band !!!! And the er doc says its flowing so everything is fine . Flowing? On an empty band and most of the barium is still in the pouch and its flowing? He phoned my surgeon and says its flowing and surgeon said drink fluids and come in Monday for an adjustment ! Um... Adjustment for wht my band is empty !!!! Thank god the previous hospital gave me two bags of fluids bc the other hospital didn't even Try . Thy didn't look at my urinalysis or blood work or anything ! Transferred me just to send me back home !!!!!! So here I am at home still unable to eat food living off off warm apple juice and hot teas bc of the fluids I received it loosend up enough for me to keep that down .

Thanks for letting me vent . So in the end I do not recommend Dr. Hollis or tru results and defiantly not memorial Herman. Southeast in Texas !!!!!
