I was told this last week. I'm puzzled . I actually don't think it's true, but thought I'd throw it out here to see what you all thought. If that's the case, I've got a 100% chance of a slip....I've had 2 chest colds since being banded in April! I coughed, boy did I ever!!

Another myth?? What do ya say???

Nope, not a myth, but probably not as easy as you envision either. Severe bouts of coughing have been known to cause slippage. The odds are still 3% or so. Don't borrow trouble, just be informed.

Interesting! Thanks Leatha. I guess a cough here and there isn't bad then.
