So - have any of you post-banders gotten sick yet from non-band related illnesses - just good old fashioned flu puking?

I am SCARED TO DEATH but know, eventually, it is going to happen, right? I think about the heaving until my chest hurts, the sheer AMOUNT of liquid and the split seconds with which it expels....

Does your band just completely pop off and ricochet around your organs?!!?!?!

As always, please share - good or bad.

Thanks in advance.

I was scared too. But it happened even though I loathe puking. It was fine for me. It wasn't a huge heave, just a pretty simple ordeal. Once and I was done. I was worried about slippage but nothing changed.

I don't think I did any damage, and I think it had more to do with my body repelling, not my band...

hope that helps

my brother was very sick with the stomach flu. It hurt like hell but no damage to the placement of the band

LOL the image of the band playing pingpong on my internal organs was a bit painful lol. So far I have not gotten sick *knock on wood* so I cannot answer this but I have always wondered this myself. I am actually a lot less sick since I have had the band but I am not sure if it is this fear in the back of my mind that makes me take better care of myself or what
