Sick

[CaramelDiva1922 1]

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.

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!

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!

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!!!

I have heard of bands slipping due to extreme coughing. I wouldn't worry, but I'd definitely get the cough under control anyway.
