Lap band issues when sick

[maryrose 2]

Hi All!

After spending a totally miserable day yesterday, I wondered if others have hit this bump in the road with illness and the band tightening up.

I came down with a UTI yesterday all of a sudden. I won't even get into it, but I was totally stressed out that my doc cannot see me til today. I think that is totally inappropriate to make someone wait a whole day when you have UTI symptoms. It was horrible.

I was so P'd off they would not see me my band tighened up. I was trying to get all that cranberry juice down, ended up PB'ing. We cannot take Advil, and tylenol does nothing for me.

I just don't think the primary care physicians have a CLUE what we go through when were are not felling well.

Just had to vent.

I find when I have a cold, etc. it's a lot more maintence taking care of myself.

Thanks for listening. I am going to give them an ear full when I do get there this afternoon.

I have a lifetime problem with UTI's!!! I HATE HATE HATE them.........I wonder how I will be be able to help flush the UTI's away now that I can't gulp down tons of fluids at a time to help myself out! This is a concern for me. I usually try to keep antibiotics around so the first sign of one coming I try to catch it before it gets too bad.....I couldnt imagine having to wait to see a doc when I am in that amount of discomfort!!

Hope you feel better soon!
