Huge prenatal vitamins stuck



Recommended Posts

I fear i have ruined my internals for life. I am a year plus post op and i am 6 months pregnant. All of a sudden my band is super tight and mg prenatal Vitamin got stuck. It was the worst pain ever in my throat chest and shoulder. That was the 5th and now im sitting here 12 hours later and i can barely drink Water because it comes right back up. Anyone experience something simar?

You really irritated yourself. Must ppl have to go on liquids for a few days, until the swelling goes down. Since you are pregnant, you need to call your Dr and see if you need an unfill.

Good luck & congratulations!

Seems like most women have their band deflated during pregnancy? Might be something to think about till the baby's born?

Wow that sounds so painful. As the previous post I've read that most women deflate their band while pregnant.

My doctor told me I wouldn't have to deflate my band when I get pregnant unless I kept throwing up. Also I do know there are Gummy prenatals if that would be easier for you? I know that target here carries them. Not sure where else they are found.

Deflating my band is not an option. I dont want to be fat and pregnant eeeuw. Anyway gummies is a good idea. Im already six months along and hadnt had trouble swallowing these pills before. So it was real weird. On to liquid diet till swelling subsides.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
