Hello Dr and every one:

I had the band done on september 2006 . I am now 36 weeks pregnant. I just had one fill before pregnancy.The beginnig of pregnancy up to about 2 months ago I was ok.I did not vomit as much.However, I have started throwing up when I had some small amount of food. Also, I am unable to eat or drink anything midnight or when I wake up until about 1pm( I throw up even small sips of water).last 2 or 3of times I went to my Ob/GYn he told me I had lots of ketones in my urine which are not good for baby's brain and told me I am starving myself .My husband has started giving me so much guilt and checking me up so that I wont throw up. he tells me he wont forgive me ever if anything is wrong with the baby.. I have moved to a state other than the one I had the surgary I now live in brooklyn,ny. I am so desperate and I dont know what to do I have also lost about 3 pounds this month. what do you suggest regarding the diet I need to follow till the baby comes. Do you think I should get and unfill or can I go on without it til delivery.does unfill now harm the baby?

Thanks alot

Your first concern should be yours and the baby's health. I would go for an unfill or at least have some of your fill removed. You really don't want to have this hanging over your head when you are trying to enjoy your brand new baby. Are you still taking your prenatal vitamins?

i agree with the unfill.

im only 7 weeks and i am REALLY tight. im trying to get in for an unfill today.

good luck

Since you're in the home stretch, I would get an unfill so you can make sure to be feeding the baby right now. Get it re-filled after you deliver.

thanks guys

An unfill is definitely the way to go if you are vomiting regularly. You will feel so much better and be so much healthier if you can get more nutrition in as well. You can always get another fill once the baby comes.
