My allergies r so bad right now and the same thing happened To me. I had 4cc. I threw up everything i tried to get down. I had an exray and my band and belly were full of flim so i had 2cc removed..what a difference. ...its been great i think i will be going back next wk to have 1cc. ..added as long as i can keep the flim under control. ... I live in the south allergy heaven...

Yes when I'm sick my band tightens up so I stick to liquids or really soft foods if I get hungry. I find when I'm sick I have no appetite at all but make sure I stay hydrated.

Hi there, Sorry to hear you have not been to well .. In reply to your question. You can find that if you do have a cold you tend to have more mucus which can filter down in to the stomach and cause you to feel full and leave less room . Phlem is more dence so it can take up more room and make you full.

Hope that helps . But like everything if it continues pop in to see your Dr.

thanks everyone thats been really helpful,, seeing my surgeon isnt much help,, before i got my band i went in and asked all these questions and he just said - well have to wait n see but the long term result will be worth it,, i mean ysa thats great but i need some sort of prepartion for what to expect,, im now 4 months in and ive had three freak outs about stuff that should have been told to me before surgury,,
