pregnant with the band

[HeatherO 7]

how is the band effected with morning sickness?

i was just banded on thursday partly because i can't lose weight to get pg with our second child.

however

i had morning sickness from 6 weeks to the day dd was born every day.

would that much throwing up shift the band?

Although rare, it is entirely possible for it to shift the band. That is why it is important to get completely unfilled if you have excessive vomitting problems during pregnancy.

Even with a complete unfill, it can still shift. I had a slip and lost my band at the end of pregnancy even though I had been completely unfilled for months.

If you are thinking about getting banded and you want to get pregnant... start NOW!!! The sooner you get banded the sooner you start losing the weight which increases your chances of positive pregnancy!! I got banded in June this year, lost 40 lbs, and found out in September that I was 6 weeks pregnant- now I am pushing my 11-12 weeks, getting confirmed date 10-25!!! I waited 10 YEARS for this, if I would have known this earlier I would have pushed my doctors harder MUCH earlier. I am actually having a good pregnancy, the band actually makes me aware of what I am eating and doing so I cannot lose my mind and go hog wild on a quart of Ben and Jerry's, so I am gaining slowly, but OB says baby will get what baby needs. :puke: Seriously- start NOW!!!

my daughter is pregnant with lap band. she is going to a ob doc that also was banded. doc is watching her and if a problem with gaining weight she just takes out her fill. she is doing well 4month pregnant. good luck. ask your band doc to recomend a ob gyn that has worked with banded patients.
