So I have come down with a wicked case of bronchitis.. I went to my regular doctor and he prescribed me liquid antibiotics (yuck) and liquid Tylenol (even more yuck) just in case of high fevers.

My questions are .. Can this severe coughing cause my lap band to slip and should I call my surgeon?

I'm 2 weeks 3 days post op

This is probably the only thing not covered in my lap band material

It can but it's not horribly common.

Maybe see if either your PCP or surgeon can call you in a good prescription cough suppressant?

Feel better soon!

I have had a number of nasty chest colds since being banded, including coughing almost to the point of vomiting - no ill effect on my band. But check with your surgeon if you are concerned.

Just was told to take mucinex liquid if that doesn't work I should head in to the dr because its only need 2.5 weeks since surgery .. Thanks guys

Even if it could slip because of coughing I don't think there is too much anyone can do besides give you a cough suppressant and cross your fingers!? Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Deslyn is a really good OTC cough suppressant, too.

Good luck!
