Have this terrible cough, runny nose not feeling great.. After all the coughing last night I woke up with abdominal pain.... Can coughing cause anything bad to happen??16 days Post Op

I don't believe coughing is going to damage anything. I had a band before. Coughing a lot can cause pain. I got a cold 20 days postop myself after my sleeve surgery. It took me a little longer to recover from it. I attribute it to having an additional surgery 11 days after my sleee surgery. I put my body through a lot in a short timeframe and returned to work part-time at 12 days out. I got another the week of Christmas but it has gone away in the regular time frame. Crazy weather temperature differences could be a contributing factor. We have gone from 70 to teens in two days time several times lately.

I swear by Zicam. For me if you start taking it when symptoms appear, it helps lessen the length and the intensity of the cold.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for your feedback !! ????

If you have a real concern give your doctor's office a call. There's coughing and then there's full on body racking coughing. I've had bronchitis before and truly pulled a muscle in my rib area.

The coughing isnt crazy but my stomach is still a little sensitive. Maybe I will call him just to be on the safe side! Thank u!!!

Mrse,

If you have any questions about pain, call your doctor they will be the expert.

Thanx

The bills for my November surgery arrived. I think I won't hesitate to call them about any little thing at all for years to come -- they are getting paid pretty well for this! Put those medical professionals to work, even just to relieve your worries. Hope you feel better today.......

Lol!Aflac! Too funny!! Well mine seems to be getting worse..but I will call hiim just to see what he says! Thank you! ????

If the doctor stitched the band in properly a cough shouldn't disturb the band. The doctors usually stitch above and below the band so it doesnt move.

When in doubt, check in with your doctor.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.
