bluegrasspr 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Hi, I am 21 weeks pregnant. I made it through the first trimester with some nausea and only vomited a few times, so I managed to not need an unfill then. However, it seems that in the past few weeks, I am having more trouble eating, and I am starting to have heartburn (almost every evening). Has anyone had to get a partial unfill later in pregnancy because of these or other issues? Not sure if I should stick it out and see if it gets better or go ahead and schedule an appointment with my lap band doctor. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SashaWLS 412 Posted August 22, 2013 OMG unfill... I just got a slight unfill because I had a lot of heartburn and was having trouble, and I feel AMAZING now!!! So much better!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoingforGoal 1,734 Posted August 22, 2013 I was pregnant with the band as well. I did nto need to unfill, but I had no negative symptoms and both baby and I were gaining appropriately. I would definitely encourage you to get even a partial unfill. The relief will allow you to resume eating normally opposed to avoiding food to avoid symptoms. Good luck and congrats 1 SashaWLS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather_8.1.14 65 Posted August 22, 2013 I always had to get completely unfilled in the beginning of my pregnancies, but you want to be comfortable and able to nourish you and that sweet little baby Remember, you got the weight off once, you'll be able to again. Enjoy your pregnancy and good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluegrasspr 0 Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks, everyone! I am going this afternoon to get a partial unfill. Hoping that will be enough to get me and the little one through the rest of our pregnancy healthy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
