DO YOU GET MORE SICK NOW?
I have actually been much more healthy and being a teacher I get exposed to a lot of different bugs. The few times I have come down with something post VSG, it seems my symptoms are far less than previously.
I'm betting you have some hellacious flu bug. A friend of mine was down for more than a week with the flu right after school let out for the summer.
I have to say, since I've had WLS I think I've had a cold once. I believe that eating healthier and taking better care of my body is one reason why I don't get sick often. My experience is the polar opposite of yours.

Like many of the others, I've had the exact opposite experience. I've had one sinus infection since surgery and aside from that I've been super healthy.
