So I went to the doctors about a two weeks ago and found out that my band slipped and that I needed to get a complete unfill so that *hopefully* it will go back to its original position. Before that I had terrible acid reflux, was throwing up daily and coughing. Now with the unfill, I have been on a liquid diet and should continue to be on the liquid diet for another two more weeks.

Yesterday I got a call from my doctors saying that my blood test and urine test all came out positive and that I am pregnant 5 weeks! I am thrilled because I have been ttc for a year and a half!

My issue is that I am worried that my band won't go back to its original position...

I am so nervous about gaining all the weight I finally lost.

Any advise would be helpful!

Thanks!

I dont have any advice for u except take it easy and be careful..hopefully everything works out for u good luck

Hello Nicole! I totally relate, that's exactly what happened to me ! lol I'm crossing my fingers my band will be in the correct position after I have the baby. When are you due? My due date is March 10.

wow, that is incredible... I was beginning to feel like no one would relate to my issue! I am due April 1st and really am praying that once I have the baby that my band will be in place and eventually I can get it filled again so that I can lose the weight I presumably will gain during this pregnancy. Do you feel tight at all? I sometimes feel like my band is tight but then there are days that I feel like I can eat just about anything. I am very conscious though to chew everything a million times since I am so scared for my band.

Yea there are times it seems tight, but most of the time it's okay. Thank god I haven't had much nausea. Cause throwing up alot could make our bands slip again. I try not to worry too much about it. Were also in the process of moving so there is so much going on it's not even funny. We will definately have to update eachother on the status of our bands after that babies come. I know they said it was a small slip so I'm hopeful.

I am now 30 weeks preggers and throwing up almost 3 or 4 times a week. Some days I can eat and others I cant at all. I have barely gained 4 lbs so the thought of gaining all the weight isn't an issue any more however I am now thinking that since I have been throwing up so many times this pregnancy that I completely slipped my band out of it's location (really)!!!

Anyways, I am now thinking of switching to get the gastric sleeve after this baby is born as that is what my doctor suggested since keeping the band in when it slipped so badly isn't an option.

How have you been?
