Hey Banders,

This is really gross but about 2 hours ago I coughed up something that looks like firm white-yellow puss (about the size of a very small pea), and it smelled terrible. Like the smell that comes out of a cyst that has been under the skin for a loooong time. I know that is a strange way to describe it but I am at a loss.

I don't know if it has anything to do with my band, tonsils, a throat infection or something else that is going to pop up.

So far my band has been great. I have lost over 20 kgs, I am becoming more fit everyday and I generally look healthier. I thought it was too good to be true so I am kind of freaked out about this gross little surprise.

If you can shed any light that would be great.

Thanks,

Simone

PS- It is REALLY gross. So bad that I cant even explain how bad it smells. How embarrassing!!!

it's from your tonsils, and yes the smell is HORRIBLE....nothing to be alarmed about
