My husband came home with the stomach bug today and I'm terrified of getting it. I'm so afraid I'm going to get sick and my band is going to slip. I made him sleep on the couch. The worst part is my tummy feels a little queasy right now. I've been through so much lately I just don't want anything to happen. Anyone else had the stomach bug and come out of it ok. Oh I'm only 3 weeks post op so my band is just barley fitting in and I have no fills yet.

Because u have no fills or restriction the chance of a band slip even if u do get a stomach bug are very rare, the band is stitched into place and 3 weeks is enough time for those stitches ( or staples ) to have bedded themselves in.. this does happen and people do get sick, if u are very concerned contact your doctor otherwise just take all precautions that u would anyways :)

I had the stomach bug 2 weeks ago. I called the doctor immediately and they unfilled me from 7 cc to 4 cc. They felt that 4 was a safe number. I was only 5 weeks post op.

You should be safe being that you are unfilled. You could call your doctor and ask for nassua meds.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
