    I just had the flu 2 1/2 weeks ago. Got sick big time. Forceful vomiting probably 4-5 times over the weekend. I really think my pouch/band swelled up. I had pain as if something was stuck but I knew I had nothing in my stomach. That lasted about 4 days. I went on antibiotics and as soon as I took my last pill my pain disappeared.

    (I was crushing my antibiotics pills which made them taste like pure crap) but that's what I had to do. I've been great since. Good luck to you!

    I'm not trying to scare you' date=' but please make an appointment with your surgeon too. It's not common but it is possible to cause a slip by prolonged strong coughing. I'm sure you're just fine and the band is just irritated but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

    Thanks missy....I sure hope your right!

    My PCP told me to take my 5 day antibiotic series and if the pain is not gone by then to go see my surgeon:)

    So I've had this horrible cough for about 1 week now, (I'm in my PCP's waiting room as I'm writing this)

    Anyways, I've been feeling discomfort in my band area...almost like a mild stuck feeling but I am able to eat and drink.

    Just some mild pain when swallowing my food and just general discomfort throughout the day. Does anyone think this could be caused by my constant coughing? I'm wondering if I irritated my stomach/pouch with all of these coughing fits. I have never gone to a doctor for a mild cold but enough is enough!! I hope whatever she prescribed for me will help my band as well!!!

    Has anyone had this happen?

    Maintaining is the easiest part....just live the new lifestyle you have learned' date=' from day to day.....

    And remain active....I found my running covers a multitude of sins...

    Congratulations.....NO MORE DIETING AND FEAR OF BEING OVERWEIGHT (providing the band remains a constant)
