Worried about my band with the stomach bug
So I had my fluid taken
Out about two weeks ago and last night I woke up to a nice little case of the stomach bug. And I guess I was worried cause I don't know how throwing up will affect the band if there us no fluid. I am holding down fluid and food but I'm still a bit nervous anything happen to anyone like this

If there is no fluid in your band, I don't think there will be a problem. But if you are worried, phone your doc.
I just once got a stomach bug since being banded and I had really good restricition. What happened to me was my body did try to be sick a couple of times but it just wouldn't happen! I just dry heaved. And everything then went downwards!!
Hope you feel better soon. Kate
