K@t 38 Posted April 12, 2006 Hey guys, Just a quick question. I have sever allergies this year, worse then I ever had before, and I have been coughing a lot. I'm taking medication for it, but I still have at least 1 or 2 coughing "fits" (3 or 4 continuous coughs) a day. Apparently it had even inflamed my stomach a bit (per my endoscopy) At any rate, the gastric doctor said it wasn't a problem, but I have heard of people coughing hard or sneezing and their band slipping. Now I'm a bit worried....can coughing really cause a slip? Should I discuss this with my surgeon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJChick 3 Posted April 12, 2006 Heather as I sit here blowing my nose and coughing like a fool I am thinking the same thing. My allergies are running wild right now and I don't think I go 10 seconds without coughing. I lay in bed at night thinking this as well. Anxious to see everyone's comments. I would ask my doctor but he's a knucklehead, I learn more from the folks here than him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K@t 38 Posted April 12, 2006 well, I just got back from my Pre-op with the surgeon and he said not to worry about the coughing, he said its not a big deal. So for now I won't worry about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisabethsew 50 Posted April 12, 2006 Coughing and deep breathing are encouraged after surgery to keep the lungs clear so there's no need to worry about allergy symptoms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
