silry 0 Posted February 26, 2007 i feel ridiculous asking this, but the band has made me uber paranoid about normal bodily functions... i've been suffering from some allergies the past 2 days and have been sneezing up a storm. now, that's annoying on the best of days, but can that slip the band? it hurts my incisions, but i can live with that... am i totally ridiculous or what?! :tired Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kat817 19 Posted February 26, 2007 I have horrid allergies through the summer when the corn is tasseling, and when we cut hay---and sneezed like crazy---never hurt me. I had a couple of months to heal, prior to my attacks---but it is nothing for me to sneeze 20 times, one right after the other!! Gives me a helluva headache, but not problems with my port or band. Kat ps....God Bless You!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyeblu79 0 Posted February 26, 2007 I have been sneezing and coughing a lot since surgery too. I was wondered about the same thing. I have been blowing my nose a lot too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjschultz 0 Posted February 26, 2007 I was wondering about that also. I was made to cough in the hospital so it can not be all that bad for you. It just hurt real bad but that has even passed for me. I only have some burning in the port area every now and then when I have did to much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyNana 10 Posted February 26, 2007 The sneezing doesn't bother me, it's all that tooting that happens when I least expect it, hehehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ Oregon 0 Posted March 4, 2007 The sneezing is the worst for me! I actually hurt near my belly button and I have no incisions near it. It radiates from my belly button to my port incision so I don't know if it's the same muscle my port is stitched to or what. I try hard not to sneeze. It's a sharp burning feeling for several seconds. I am on day six post-op. I am on a liquid diet for FOUR FREAKIN WEEKS! I can have Soup right now and my nurse suggestion egg flour soup (w/o chunks of stuff). I'm really craving food. I have my brother in town for a few days and he is eating up a storm. He's cooking pizza and lasanga and drinking soda. JERK! I smell it and start craving food! I'm not super hungry but having heavy cravings! I don't regret the surgery at all but regret not being able to have the foods I wants right now. I am carving carbs...Pad Thai and Quiznos bad!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QTkidsmom 0 Posted March 4, 2007 I am certainly not a doctor but I think that sneezing won't be a problem. I had surgery in November and got a cold a couple weeks after, coughing and sneezing all the time. I think it is VERY normal to question things like this...boy I did. I thought at least once a day that I had slipped mine, but all was fine. I am sure that you will be too. God Bless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
