Ok so...I have the flu(no clue what kind as...according to the walk-in clinic doctor: I won't test you because we know it's out there; even after I told him I have hypothyroidism and a severe abscess and I live with someone on immunosuppressent meds)

Anyway I woke up last night sweating, hopefully my fever was breaking a bit, but I was reallly nasueous but all that happened was I kept hic-burping like I do if I eat a food that doesn't digest well....and I pretty much haven't ate anything for the last two days as my appetite is nonexistent. Anyone else had the flu with the band?

bc, that's the PITS. I have a raging cold now (although, I don't think it's worse because of my band, but the wet cough has kicked in, so we'll see), and a cold is no comparison to the flu. I've only had the flu once in my life, and that was enough to make me a believer in the flu shot. I have read several instances where with the H1N1 flu people have experienced vomiting, which makes me even more worried about this particular strain of flu with the band. I wonder if your surgeon could call in something for you for the nausea.

I hope you're over the worst of it now and are feeling better very soon!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
