A Scots mum has told how she almost died after her unborn son kicked her gastric band out in the womb. Nicola Campbell-Brisland, from Port Glasgow, was rushed in for emergency surgery when she was 32-weeks pregnant.
Doctors told the mum-of-three she was mere hours from death after son Stephen, now five, dislodged the band and she began to throw up a black like substance. She was quickly rushed in for emergency surgery to remove the band and save both of their lives.
Nicola, 38, lost over six stone when she had the gastric band fitted in 2014 after years of struggling with her weight as a result of Type 2 diabetes.
