Coughing and band slippage.....

[Angeleane 0]

OK, so I've had this really ugly cough for about a week. I am wondering if really hard and continuous coughing can cause the band to slip. I have notice a dull ache in my abdomen since after eatin lunch this afternoon. Any advice or thoughts are welcomed :thumbup:

Most likely the feeling you have in your tummy is from the muscles being sore from the coughing. Its my understanding that if a band slips, you would have problems swallowing and eating, as the band would slip upward over the esophagus. Its pretty hard to slip a band, I feel. However, as with all of us, it would be better to contact your doctor and they can prescribe something to ease the coughing...

Best of luck!
