Angel I am so sorry to hear your news. I don't blame you for wanting to tell your first Dr what for!!! Try to be strong for your baby, I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but it is a good thing that they have finally found what is wrong and are going to make you feel better and have a safe end to your pregnancy. Cry and scream all you need, We're here for support if/when you need us (((big hugs)))

Thanks Bronnie and She Smiles, I've had my little cry and now i'm on the net researching general anesthia and pregnancy (probably not a good thing as i'll just scare myself silly).

All i can say is if u guys ever feel like something's not right, don't let the Dr's convince u otherwise, go with ur gut instincts and follow it up. If i had this would of been sorted months ago, probably even before i fell pregant

Hi Angel,

So sorry to hear about your situation, what sort of symptoms were you experiencing?? At least on the bright side of all this you'll have a beautiful baby to hold & cuddle very soon.

Hi Meredith & KarenB,

Thanks for that info it helps to see if I'm on the right track. I bought 2 glass pyrex bowls today that have lids and measure out 250ml (1Cup) so that I can get a better idea of what I'm supposed to be having.

Can anyone tell me where they felt the pain when something wasn't working for them.??? I have had this almighty pain on my left side of stomach for a few hours and only now seems to be going away!!!

Thanks Dionne for your thoughts.

In regards to the pain ur feeling, my guess is that u've eaten a little to much. The pain usually subsides once the foods gone down.

With regards to the symptoms i was having, where do i start LOL.

From the beginning i had the stuck feeling with fluids, and that feeling never went away just got worse with fills. Then the vomiting, reflux, started. For the past 5 mths mainly i've been unable to get more then one or two bites down of mushies. And 9 out of 10 times that came up anyway. If i had more then a sip of water/liquid that would come up as well. Keeping in mind that all fills where removed about that time because i became pregnant. Also pain near my port site that was really unbearable that seemed to radiate into my back and shoulder blades. The rest of the symptoms i think came from malnurishment (dizziness etc).

Can't wait for the baby to get here, it'll make it all so worth while in the end.

I should also say sorry if my post's seem a little scattered, but being on the verge of near starvation for the past 6 mths has done nothing for my mental health LOL.

Hi All, Angel I so feel for you. I would be scared also if I was pregnant and having to have the band removed. They will monitor you even more carefully given that you are pregnant, during the op. Sending you and your little one my best wishes, and positive healing vibes.

Karen, you poor girl!:) Was sorry to hear about your hospital ordeal. I think you have given us all something to think about re not getting aggressive fills. I plan on getting mine slowly but surely. Hope you are feeling better now.

Dionne, How are you? How are your little nippers going?:biggrin1:

Hi All,

Angel, I really feel for you, you have been a trooper just making it this far, especially being pregnant - don't know how you have been doing it. I think I would check with your obgn as well about what to do, you need to make sure both you and the baby are as safe as possible. Is this your 1st baby.

Sussanah - Not doing to bad but just so tired all the time, I can't seem to get motivated to do anything let alone exercise. Is this normal???

Kids are doing ok, we are finally getting Braydan tested for numerous things, he is super intelligent but reading and comprehension are just not working out we are looking into either dyslexia or an auditory processing problem.

My husband (DOUG) has been offered a job in WA, 4weeks on and 1week homem it's really good money and we would only do it for 1-2 yrs, but we are both concerned about the family, he is currently doing 10days on and 4days home. Big dilemma and we only have a couple of days to decide.

I'm a bit worried I may be going through some sort of depression at the moment with this lack of energy, I suffered PND after Vridie was born pretty bad, any help would be good!!

Hey Dionne, I reckon you should go to Perth. It is absolutely booming there economy wise, and there may be bettter facilities and services there to assist your son Brayden. The population there is growing rapidly, and along with that you get infrastructure and prosperity growth. Your hub can make really good bucks there. But hey don't let me persuade you.:)

It is normal to feel shizenhausen (Cleaned that one up ey?:biggrin1: ) for the first month after banding re energy levels. Mine have started to pick up now.

If only exercise was lifting your leg up and down in a nice bubble bath while sipping champagne!:biggrin1:

Hey M, I was comparing the price of rentals nationwide. The ACT is so bloody expensive for real estate rentals!:) Is that because of a lack of housing that they hyper inflate the prices? I was shocked quite frankly. Susannah

Dionne - it's not my first, I've already got two children. Due to my weight, i've never found it easy to become pregnant, so i think we just became careless about being careful :( I in no way planned to fall pregnant 4 mths after my banding.

She Smiles - Could the prices in Canberra be any worse then Sydney, I thought we led the market on rip of house prices/rentals :heh:

:help: :help: :help:

As you all know i was banded last friday.... Im on fluids and when i have runny custard soon after i feel like ive got it stuck in my throat. It disappears after sipping water for a while... ? the custard isnt runny enough??!!

Now.... when i was banded , no fill would have been put in would it?? My surgeon is unavailable and although im not having a real problem... it doesnt feel right but then again i have no idea what all this is suppose to feel like.

Im up and about as normal during the day now. Night is a problem as i still need to lie on my back and woke up last night with an ache in the middle of my chest and it felt like there was an alien in there.... i assume this is where the band is and could the feeling be the tubing moving around. Most of my swelling is subsiding and im finding this all weird..

Hope i dont sound too dumb but i thought id ask....
