Stomach Flu After Band?

[WinningLoser 10]

Hi,

My son came down with a stomach bug last night, he has vomited a few times and I am very worried about catching it!

Moms know it is SO common while tending to our kids needs that we catch it. In fact I almost ALWAYS do!

I am newly banded (4 weeks this Friday). Any advice if this may be heading my way?

If you catch it call your sugeon's office right away. They can prescribe an antinausant. You want to be careful about throwing up because it can cause the band to slip. Oh, and was your hands a lot and have your son do the same. Hope you stay healthy.

I agree. Call your surgeon's office right away if you show any signs of it.

I agree with the other two. Get a prescription immediately for an antiemetic (will stop vomiting and nausea not just nausea). If you don't feel comfortable swallowing large pills (some can be large) ask for suppositories. Not fun but effective.
