  1. Anyone get flu since being banded?

    wboone66 replied to socalfosh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I had the stomach flu about two weeks ago and ended up at the emergency room due to dehydration. Because of my band, I had them check for slippage, and the did a CT Scan. Supposedly, all was fine, but ever since, I've had difficulty eating solids without throwing them up. Something definitely feels different, but I have moved away from where I had my original surgery, and I don't really have the money to get it checked out. Insurance doesn't cover fills. I just don't know if I'm still swollen and keep aggravating it by trying to eat. :tt2:
