Oh man let me tell you.. I knew that my kids had the flu and I worked real hard to just stay away as much as I could. I kept washing my hand and wiped everything down with clorox wipe.. Last night around 9pm all hell broke lose.

I knew I was going to puke and I was so scared I ended up calling my lapband doctor which he was great. Once the puking started it was like dry because I had to squeeze it back up the band.OUCH! Then at one point it was coming at both ends at the same time. I have maxed myself out on emodem (sp) and finally it has slowed down down there:phanvan

I puked 4 times during the night and my chest feels tight.

So I hope this help someone if they get the flu.. It is not fun with the band.

Next year I think I might get the flu shot??

Ginger,

I sure hope you are feeling better!

What did your doctor recommend?

Take care!

Debra

No drinking for rest of the night.

Imoduim for the diarrhea.

And Compazine which was a suppository for the tummy pains.

To be honest nothing helped at first.

Today-Monday I'm feeling better but my chest is still killing me.

I'm going to spend the day in bed.

Just for future reference, you should keep some Fenergan (sp?) suppositories in your fridge for when things like this happens. You should be able to get a script form your PCP. I hope you are feeling better now.
