What happens if you get sick after getting banded (that causes you to be vomitting)


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

For those of you that have had your band for a while.... Have you gotten sick since having the band (like stomach virus, flu, etc) that caused you to throw up? Im getting the band in Jan, and I usually get sick atleast once every winter, and I'm worried that if I get sick and it causes me to throw up, that it will hurt the band or cause it to move?

Have any of you gotten sick and if so was everything ok? Im just very nervous about any complications.... and it just hit me today that any sort of gagging/throwing up could possible cause some trouble.

Thanks for your help and advice

Hey Christy,

On top of Pbing, I have had a few stomach flus, one BAD, and had a baby while banded. Never had any issues. If you had a terrible stomach flu right after surgery, that could maybe cause probs but they do have anti-naseau meds that will help. So don't worry! I puked so hard when pregnant that I busted the capillaries in my face, and I was fine. You will be too.

Karen,

Thanks...that sounds pretty painful when u were pregnant!!! ouch! But you did ease my mind - thank you. Since i scheduled the surgery I have been thinking of everything that could go wrong.

Hopefully I make it through the healing stage with no sickness :)

I too have gotten really sick after the band (this week actually) and nothing happened. I know that my doctor said to call after your have thrown up for a few days just to make sure that all is ok..but thankfully that has not happened.

Good luck!
