This is not really about bariatric surgery but I found it interesting.

Flu season is coming, are you prepared? This article talks about the latest changes in the flu immunization for this year. They now even have a flu shot especially designed for the 65 year old and older crowd called Flaud. FluMist is out this year. There is also an immunization for those allergic to eggs called Flucelvax. Vitamins that I am taking seems to boost my natural immunization. I think this is a shared experience across the community.

I grew up thinking every bad cold/sinus/stomach thing was 'the flu'. Never got my flu shot, because I'd had 'the flu' and it wasn't all that bad!

Then, I actually got THE FLU. I was IN BED for a week, unable to do more than go to the toilet, and then walking around the house sick for 14+ days. I've never missed a flu shot since, and have never been sick with it again.

I think way too many people think they've had flu when they haven't. After actually having it, I understand how kids and elderly people die from it. Get your shot...herd immunity is marvelous
