hey, ive had a cold for a few weeka now,, and since i got sick.it doesnt matter what or how little i eat i get stuck is this normal,, i constantly feel bloated and like my pouch is full,, but i get hungry even tho i have that "full" feeling,, can any one explain ??

My allergies r so bad right now and the same thing happened To me. I had 4cc. I threw up everything i tried to get down. I had an exray and my band and belly were full of flim so i had 2cc removed..what a difference. ...its been great i think i will be going back next wk to have 1cc. ..added as long as i can keep the flim under control. ... I live in the south allergy heaven...

thank you, that makes so much sense cu most of the time when i bring things back up its largely flem,, so makes sense,, thank you

Yes when I'm sick my band tightens up so I stick to liquids or really soft foods if I get hungry. I find when I'm sick I have no appetite at all but make sure I stay hydrated.

see why doesnt my lapband doc tell me this stuff ?? i havnt really been hungry just craving weird thin

Hi there, Sorry to hear you have not been to well .. In reply to your question. You can find that if you do have a cold you tend to have more mucus which can filter down in to the stomach and cause you to feel full and leave less room . Phlem is more dence so it can take up more room and make you full.

Hope that helps . But like everything if it continues pop in to see your Dr.

thanks everyone thats been really helpful,, seeing my surgeon isnt much help,, before i got my band i went in and asked all these questions and he just said - well have to wait n see but the long term result will be worth it,, i mean ysa thats great but i need some sort of prepartion for what to expect,, im now 4 months in and ive had three freak outs about stuff that should have been told to me before surgury,,
