I've been wondering what happens to the band if you get the stomach flu and have vomiting.

I had the same question pre-banding! I was worried about the vomiting thing as I tend to have a weak stomach and even get motion sickness. I've been banded over a year and had one issue w/motion sickness. Generally, on occasion it doesn't seem to be a problem. It's the excessive and forceful bouts as leatha g stated that seems to be the problem.

I just got over the flu and if my band didn't burst with all the coughing I did, it's gotta be a good one. I have to admit, I would kind of hold that area, with the fear it might. I guess I'll find out next month, when I go for my 2yr ck up.
