Hi. Did you get an unfill during your pregnancy? Also, when you fly, sometimes your band tightens up in mid air and stays tight for a while when you land back onto ground. I would try to go to the local medical facility there, see if they are familiar with the LapBand if not, refer you to a place that does know what to do and get a complete unfill and try to relax. The stress of the trip and stress you are feeling are not good for the baby.
I hope things work out. Try to stay calm and maybe if you can suck on ice chips or something to stay hydrated.
Take care.

all the weight has been lost post-op..I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
highest weight: 333 pounds (I know I gained after my last "weigh in" in the doctors office so probably it's more like 340 pounds)
current weight: 151 pounds (7/12/11)
I've been at goal (165 pounds) for 6 months now and now on maintence. I tend to go up and down depending on time of the month and such!
There are excellent medical facilities in India and they are very familiar with wls.
However, I would suggest that this may not be band related. The vast majority of visitors to India get at least attack of Delhi Belly! Last time I was there, I was the only one on our tour who did NOT get it! Even regular visitors to India get It!
But in view of the pregnancy, see a doc in one of the main private clinics. I assume you will have medical travel insurance.
