So I had a fill a week ago today so I was already gradually getting into eating solids. Today is day 3 of having a horrible sinus infection. Band is definitely tighter due to being sick as the only thing that is going down is hot liquids such as tea and soups. I've taken meds with these items to ease them down. Since I can get these fluids down, should I tough it out or call for an unfill. Ive heard various things such as get an unfill to weigh it out, it'll fix itself. Has this happened to you and what did you do? Almost a year post-op and hadn't had a bug thus bad. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The best thing you could do is call your doctor. Everyone is going to have a different opinion. All I could say is try and make sure you can get in as much nutrients as possible. Try and get your protein in. I ended up getting really sick a week after my last fill, and liquids is what I was stuck with, I was so tight. I made chicken broth, and just tried to stay hydrated.

What are you taking for the sinus infection? I was told that the only decongestants I can take are things like Musinex or Robitussin. Nothing that has DM in the title. The way it was explained to me is that your sinus' will drain down your throat and the thick mucus can plug things up making it difficult to get things down. The DM type medicines will only make that mucus seem thicker as it's trying to dry it all up...so that could have something to do with you not being able to get anything but fluids down.

Doctor gave me antibiotics in gel caps and said to stick to musinex (off brand). She said the off brand could be broken or crushed due to not being time release. I'm sick of soup and tea but not doing so well on cold stuff right now.

You need to get them to take some Fluid out, becasue what happens your stomach tightens and then it's hard to keep things down, sometimes even Water. I've had my band

for two years and kinda did things my way, well this past Friday my band slipped and had to have more surgery, so listen to your body\
