very sick-does coughing affect the band



Recommended Posts

I am very sick coughing non-stop and gagging from it, fever, headache, nasal drainage, sore throat. Went to a walk in clinic today because that is all I had access to and they tested me for flu, came back negative, said it was viral and had to run its course, gave me cough med and other meds but nothing is helping the cough. Can coughing this much and this hard affect the band?

Thanks

Donna

Yes it can. I had them remove Fluid because if u tight and coughing could get small dilation. With less fluid Np say I should be fine.

This crap ain't no joke! I feel like death. I tried to eat a hard boiled egg this morning and got stuck, then tried yogurt, got stuck, guess all the mucus and drainage. I called my surgeon and he told me to go to the hospital walk in clinic. Well I went to a walk in clinic yesterday at Walgreens, no I didn't see a "quote unquote dr" just a nurse Pract. but today I seem to be worse, coughing up mess and this morning it was pink like blood in it but I just figured maybe from a bloody nose during the night, sorry to be so gross. The walk in clinic at the hospital is open all weekend so I will give it till tomorrow or sunday morning maybe. Lordy I feel like crap.

I was told that if I developed a cough after I was in the hospital I was to call my surgeon's office. I did have a cough but I cough due to asthma and copd. The cough did not continue after about 3 hours of getting home.. I did have a temp and called about that but was told since it had gone down and cough had not continued I was OK and have been since day one.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
