i feel ridiculous asking this, but the band has made me uber paranoid about normal bodily functions...

i've been suffering from some allergies the past 2 days and have been sneezing up a storm. now, that's annoying on the best of days, but can that slip the band? it hurts my incisions, but i can live with that...

am i totally ridiculous or what?! :tired

I have horrid allergies through the summer when the corn is tasseling, and when we cut hay---and sneezed like crazy---never hurt me. I had a couple of months to heal, prior to my attacks---but it is nothing for me to sneeze 20 times, one right after the other!! Gives me a helluva headache, but not problems with my port or band.

ps....God Bless You!!

I have been sneezing and coughing a lot since surgery too. I was wondered about the same thing. I have been blowing my nose a lot too.

I was wondering about that also. I was made to cough in the hospital so it can not be all that bad for you. It just hurt real bad but that has even passed for me. I only have some burning in the port area every now and then when I have did to much.

The sneezing is the worst for me! I actually hurt near my belly button and I have no incisions near it. It radiates from my belly button to my port incision so I don't know if it's the same muscle my port is stitched to or what. I try hard not to sneeze. It's a sharp burning feeling for several seconds. I am on day six post-op. I am on a liquid diet for FOUR FREAKIN WEEKS! I can have Soup right now and my nurse suggestion egg flour soup (w/o chunks of stuff). I'm really craving food. I have my brother in town for a few days and he is eating up a storm. He's cooking pizza and lasanga and drinking soda. JERK! I smell it and start craving food! I'm not super hungry but having heavy cravings! I don't regret the surgery at all but regret not being able to have the foods I wants right now. I am carving carbs...Pad Thai and Quiznos bad!!!!!

I am certainly not a doctor but I think that sneezing won't be a problem. I had surgery in November and got a cold a couple weeks after, coughing and sneezing all the time. I think it is VERY normal to question things like this...boy I did. I thought at least once a day that I had slipped mine, but all was fine. I am sure that you will be too. God Bless!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
