HELP PLEASE Stomach Virus after Lap Band!!

[gotmyeyeontheprize 2]

Well, let me say that I am in a major panic mode right now. My kids and I went to my friend's house last night. Now, her entire family has the awful stomach virus. Her toddler has it the worst and she was drinking after me!! I have only been banded since Monday and am scared to death that I am going to get this mess. What do I do?!?!

Please call your doctor ASAP. You don't want to be throwing up if it's the stomach flu and have it affect your band's placement.

Put a call in to your surgeon and let them know. They may want to call you in some Phenergan.

Thanks for the advice. I tried to call my surgeon's office, but they do not have any after hours service. My surgeon gave me a prescription for nausea medication the day of surgery. I feel a bit nauseated right now, but I really think it is all in my head. The fear of getting sick. So, I went ahead and took a nausea pill to be on the safe side. Also, I decided it may be best for me to go back to liquids until I see if this virus hits me. Maybe that will prevent so much pressure if I do get sick.

Oh do I feel your pain! I came down with some sort of stomach virus and it was terrible! Not throwing up, but the other way if you know what I mean! Eventually it went away but man I was worried!

Well, that stomach bug is getting closer to me! My sweet daughter came down with it early this morning. So, please keep your fingers crossed that I don't get it.
