Night Cough



Recommended Posts

I have just had my 3rd fill (Monday) all is well drinking and eating must admit have been sticking to mushiness. I am loving the feeling of not being hungry and my calories have dropped to around 600 - 700 but I have had one big problem I have developed a night cough and when I lie down I am getting reflux does anyone have advise, also I am feeling as if I could have flu so I am wondering if the cough and band fill is even related.

You should talk with your doctor, but my feeling is, if the cough is a flu symptom, it would happen while you're in the upright position as well. I certainly know the reflux cough.....it's no fun.

Definitely talk with your doctor. If this continues, you may need a slight un-fill. If you didn't have reflux prior to the fill, you may be a little too tight.

If you do have the flu then the cough would make since but a night cough is something I get only if I eat too close to bed time and/or my band is too tight?? I would make a call to your surgeon if your able to eat and drink normaly there may not be a problem! Best Wishes!

Yes give your doctor a call. Night cough and reflux are very common signs of a band too tight. A tiny amount removed, even as small .1cc, could potentially take care of the problem while allowing you to stay in the Green Zone.

I had a bad respiratory infection and I was coughing quite a lot day and night. I pushed my fill date back by a couple of weeks at the advice of my PCP who said that having that type of infection could make my band feel tighter even without adding more fill to it.

Might be worth having a bit removed until you are feeling 100% better and then if it's not green for you then put some back in.

Hope you Feel better soon!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
