What If I Get This!!!!!!

[libbyb 3]

I work in the school system so I am with Kids everyday, all day. Heres the problem.........THE STOMACH FLU. AGGG yes the kids are starting to get sick and you know how fast the stomach ful gets past around. I am scared to death to get it. I am afraid to throw up like that. I talked to a friend that has been banded for about 2 1/2 yrs and she say she hasn't gotten sick since she has been banded so had no advice. What do you all suggest. I know all about "Washing my hands" but when you are helping students you can't help but be right down near there faces and germs get pasted.

I just dont want to vomt ( sorry about that) and have my band slip!!!!!!!!

I asked this question and never really got an answer. I too work as a teacher.

I get a flu shot every year.

Go and get a shot of maxolon or similar from your Dr to prevent you throwing up.

Thanks, I get a flu shot but this is not the flu its a stomach flu and thats different.

I have never heard of a shot to keep you from throwing up??? Will have to check that out. Thanks!!!!!

I might give my Drs. office a call and see if they have suggestions. I hear this is a bad virus that last for about 24 hrs.

flu shot is a must, I get one every year.

My surgeon advises an unfill for teachers during stomach virus time at their school. Getting sick with stomach virus can cause a slip. I know because I had one just in October. Good luck and best wishes for getting past stomach virus season. Karen

I have thrown up plenty and never slipped...my doc did sew my band in place though. Getting unfilled for flu season sounds ridiculous to me!

Getting unfilled during flu season does sound a bit crazy to me. That's why they have the flu shot.

I am a dental hygienist and deal with people's spit every day and don't get the flu and would never get an unfill like that.

Stomach flu is actually the Noro Virus and it does spread easily. Only bleach kills it so you might want to keep your work area wiped down with a 1:10 mixture of bleach and Water. That's what we do in our skilled nursing facility and it really helps. Hand sanitizer does not help this.
