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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
