7 Weeks Pregnant --Slipped Band And Scared Put Of My Mind!



Recommended Posts

I was banded in July 2011...and was doing great until this may (2012)....i couldnt keep anything down and had a feeling that my band had slipped! Went to the doc and sure enough it was a bad slip...they took ALL my Fluid out hoping it would repair it self in time. After taking the fluid out I felt great...just took it easy on my stomach! This were going good ...then I found out I was pregnant. Im now 7 weeks pregnant and as of last night the same symptoms I had with the slip are back!!! I can't keep ANYTHING down...even water!! Im scared out if my mind bc they already took all the fluid out so I don't know what else to do and I have to get something in my stomach for the baby!!! Im so scared and tired of being in pain that I am leaning towards getting the band removed..but not sure what I'll do for the next 9 months...Im terrified that I'll loose or harm my baby!!! :(

See your doctor right away! I can't stress that enough. If you can not eat or drink anything you will become sick quickly especially while pregnant and waiting might have disastrous effects for you and your unborn baby.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
