JaJ Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I am on Day 9 post op and I'm getting sick. Runny nose, sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Is this going to be a problem for my healing band? Is there anything I can do to make it better? Has this happened to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macleay Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I am on Day 9 post op and I'm getting sick. Runny nose, sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Is this going to be a problem for my healing band? Is there anything I can do to make it better? Has this happened to anyone else? I got a cold within the first week after surgery. It HURT to cough and sneeze. I took Nyquil, which always helps me, I think it's a wonder drug! It calmed my coughing and sneezing, so I'm hoping I had no damage to the band. Whatever you can take to diminish those symptoms probably will decrease your chance of band damage, although I imagine the risk is fairly low. It probably wouldn't hurt to call the doc to make sure and to see if he has any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephj03 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Maybe you should have taken a superdose of Vit C like me haha. Watch now I'll get sick too just for posting this. At least we get to move on to full liquids tomorow. Creamy soups and protein shakes HO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaJ Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'm going to take some Nyquil as soon as I get home from work then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
