I have bronchitis and I havenot been able to eat. I have also been coughing like crazy. I don't feel tight. Food will go down I'm just not hungry. Do you think I should have my band loosened.

Lap Band on 08/25/10

if it were me, I would...especially if this has been going on for more than a few days. All the coughing could eventually cause a slip. What does your doc say?

5.0 cc in a 10cc lapband (four fills) 1 unfill of .5cc on 5/24/2011.
.5 fill March 2012. unfill of .25cc May 2012. Unfill of .5cc June 2014.

Still with my lapband with no plans for revision. Band working well since

last small unfill.

speak to your doc. It depends on how much coughing. I get tiht when in have any upper respitory
infection.

I would think that since it's not tightened with your illness and food is going down fine that there would be no need to unfill. Always best to check with your Dr. though.....but that's my thought on the matter.

Hope u feel better soon!

I think you should ask your doctor for something to control that cough, really impress upon him that all that coughing could put your band at risk for a slip. Don't let your PCP blow this off, insist on it.
