Gastro-intestinal Bug

[lynner99 14]

So....I was banded just 11 days ago and there is a bug making its way through my house.

I am really scared I'll end up with it and the vomiting will commence.

I've read that vomiting can lead to band slippage in rare occasions.

I'm feeling a bit nauseous but I'm thinking too that it may be just psychosomatic.

Oh what to do????????

I had this happen to me, and my surgeon did say that if you are going vomit as a result of a virus, there is nothing you can do about it.

My band did not slip, however I did need a small unfill afterward, as the area around my band was swollen after vomiting.

I would defintely do your best to keep from getting Ill, and though you have not been banded long, you would need to vomit a number of times before you should be overly concerned about your band slipping.

Definitely call your surgeon if you have difficulties with staying properly hydrated.

I hope the virus skips over you...

Since you're not even two weeks post op you should prolly call your dr and get instructions on what to do. I would be concerned too.
