I suppose it could, since vomiting or retching could. But I would think it would have to be hard frequent coughing to do it. I read you have/had bronchitis - I would suggest you call your surgeon for any signs of slippage or obstruction. Did you ask your doctor who saw you for the bronchitis for a prescription for the cough if it's severe? Maybe if you explained to him your concerns?

HI, I TOO HAVE EXCESSIVE COUGHING AND BRONCHITUS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW, BEEN ON ANTIBIOTICS, COUGH MEDS, MUCINEX AND STILL COUGHING. I'M SCHEDULED FOR RNY ON NOVEMBER 9th AND I'M GETTING WORRIED THAT I MIGHT BUST OPEN MY STITCHES IF I DON'T QUIT COUGHING. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, I'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU, GOD BLESS, DEBI ROBINSON
