My irrational fear - lap band slip in pregnancy

[PuraVida37 715]

I'm 12 weeks pregnant and have not had morning sickness during this pregnancy except for a few mornings when I know I just needed to eat (never vomited). But in the last week or two I've been getting more nauseous and I'm so afraid that I'm going to either find out that my band has slipped or I'll vomit and it will slip. I'm completely unfilled just for reference.

Tell me I'm crazy. If it continues, I'm going to go see my band doc.

ETA: I am noticing that my stomach is rumbling really hard because it's on empty, but when I take even one bite sometimes I'll get the "I overdid it" left shoulder pain.

you probably should consult your lapband surgeon and see if they suggest removing some Fluid to allow you to eat. I have seen a few band patients that got pregnant and that is what they did . I hope you start feeling better soon.

I'm already on empty, no more to take out. I think it's "Protein pain" I need to be eating more Protein, and sometimes when I'm on an empty stomach I get the pain just like I would when I ate one bite too much.

But yes, I will go see him. Thanks for your reply.
