My irrational fear - lap band slip in pregnancy



Recommended Posts

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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
