Cleo's Mom 257 Posted October 28, 2008 What happens if you've had your fills and you get the stomach flu and you have to throw up - how does it come up through the band? Because the flu will be in the lower stomach (and probably pouch, too). Has this happened to anyone? :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has this happened to anyone? :biggrin: If you get the stomach flu and your throwing up you need to get to your band doc ASAP and get an unfill ! Throwing up should be avoided for any reason when you have the band. it WILL come up through the band , i will tell you when I THROW Up throw up , and not just PB It hurts like a SOB . But it will come up , that's why you have to get to the doc ASAP and get at least a slight unfill most will totally unfill you if your throwing up often . I have to have a constant supply of zofran due to Migraines, i throw up from them . So I have it on hand all the time. HTH Mindy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eisermanr7 0 Posted October 28, 2008 I was told to get to my doctor or emergency room asap if I got a stomach virus. I actually was reading an article in the newspaper the other day and it was about a new vaccine that they are giving babies to prevent the rotarvirus (thats the one that causes the stomach flu)... I don't know if it's only for babies, but I think it would be awesome if banders could get it someday! :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
