Flu Season hard on Bandsters

Ok....so I got the flu on Friday and have felt like crap all weekend. I have not been able to eat alot due to that I felt kinda queezy. So when I went to take my tamiflu yesterday everything came back up...and from that moment on I violently threw up even Water. I couldn't keep anything down. I started hurting really bad around my port area and then I became hysterical!!! I just knew I slipped my band....but I didn't! I called my doc at 7:00 last night and he met me at his office at 8:15pm and took out 1.4 cc's. He said I did the right thing in calling him. He said that if I would have kept it up something really bad could have happened....plus I was extrememly dehydrated!!!
So the reason why I post is for awareness...that if you get the flu or something like that you might want to get some of your fill out just until you better....b/c it was awful what I went through. He said he actually recommended getting some of the fill removed when you are that sick so you can get tons of fluids in to keep healthy.
Just wanted to share!!!!
