A mum almost died when her unborn son kicked her gastric band off in the womb. Nicola Campbell-Brisland had to have emergency surgery when she was 32-weeks pregnant and doctors told the mum-of-three she was hours from death.
Nicola started to vomit a black substance and needed emergency surgery to remove the dislodged band - saving both her and baby Stephen. Nicola had the gastric band fitted in 2014 in a bid to lose weight and cure diabetes.
The band was removed in the emergency surgery in 2017, and Nicola has since regained the 88lbs she lost and struggles with her mobility. She told the Daily Record: "When I was 32-weeks pregnant, my wee boy kicked my gastric band inside me and dislodged it. I instantly started throwing up something that looked like black coffee grind.
