Cough and cold dont't feel too good



Recommended Posts

I got a really bad cold that continued with a cough I've had it for a few days and the cough was really bad. So, I am worried that if LB can slip? due to excessive coughing? It feels sore or light pain if I take a deep breath.:confused:

I am feeling very tight right now so I am trying to take it easy with liquids only.

So has anyone had a really bad cough related to a cold and had any issues..any info would be very helpful.

I am new to this so I hope I did this right:redface:

You need to worry much more about vomiting than coughing. I have not heard of a slip caused by coughing, but I am not a doctor. Make sure that you have same anti-nausea medication just in case. Staying with liquids will help along with a cough suppresant that is friendly to your banded stomach.

If the cough is really bad, don't hesitate to call your doctor for suggestions.

I called my doctor the other day because I had started coughing just a bit and was worried about the same thing. I was told not to worry that the biggest problem would just be the pain since I just had surgery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
