CaramelDiva1922 1 Posted March 19, 2005 I am sick with the flu. And I have been coughing alot. just wondering if this can make my band slip. I've heard that a lot of pbing can make it slip, but I'm not sure about coughing. I am 2 1/2 weeks post op, and doing quite well by my dr.s opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharon 0 Posted March 20, 2005 I had a pretty good cough when I first got my band - no slippage but woooh baby those first few days were kind of "interesting". I'd cough, then actually say "ow" then laugh because I said "ow" then I'd say "ow" again because I laughed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belle joufflue une 1 Posted March 20, 2005 The day after I got my band I came down with a horrible flu. I had the exact same concerns as you, but all was well. Please take care, and remember to keep your fluids up because it is so important! Joan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHAZ 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Diva, I hope you will feel better soon. Try resting and sipping on fluids. You need this time to concentrate on your new band. FEEL BETTER!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donali 57 Posted March 20, 2005 I have heard of bands slipping due to extreme coughing. I wouldn't worry, but I'd definitely get the cough under control anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
