So I woke up with a sore throat and a cold this morning. I'm a little scared at the possibility that I might have to throw up if I get a sour stomach.

Any advice on the dos and don'ts of throwing up with a band?

If you think you are going to vomit, call your Dr and ask if they could give you an anti-nausea medication. This way, you could have it for any future spells.

I just got over a stomach virus and threw up many times. It was the first time I have thrown up since I got banded which was 8 months ago. That was my biggest fear after being banded. How would it feel when I throw up. Actually I really didnt notice much difference than the way it felt before. I did call my doc and he simply suggested I take some immodium and be carefull of eating afterwards for a few days as the throwing up can cause it to tighten up.
