My husband and both of my boys are sick and throwing up like crazy. I have some of those suppositories that make you not get so sick. I am trying to figure out if I should go ahead and use one now or wait to see if I get sick. Any suggestions? I am so scared to throw up. I dont want my band to slip or anything.

Hmm, been in this position twice since being banded. The first time I just started taking the medication straight away. I'm pretty sure I got the bug, as I had temperatures and hot/cold flushes and I'm also pretty sure I talked myself into feeling nauseous. Gastro is the one thing I'm like that about, I could almost cause myself to get sick just by worrying about it. In short, I think the medication worked. I also gave my husband a pill as he'd started feeling sick earlier that day and it didnt work for him, I think it was too late. He barfed his guts up all night, poor bugger.

The second time the kids bought a tummy bug home (and the third, fourth and fifth times, lol) I didnt take anything, I decided to wait till I knew I was sick, but I didnt get sick any of those times.
