Saw the doc yesterday and he gave psuedofed and zofron for nausea and said the vomiting will pass once the mucus goes away .. he put me on clear liquids for 3 days ugh ,,, has anyone gone threw this .. I had great restriction tell i got sick.. seems i cannot digest the mucus .. he gave me tell the end of weekendto see if the sweeling goes down before he does a unfill . anyone have this problem? How long did it take the swelling to go away? Thanks

I dont suffer, well I've hardly even had a cold since I was banded almost 2 years ago.

but I've heard others say it and my unbanded DH suffers horribly when he gets a cold -the mucous gives him horrendous heartburn that lasts for weeks after the cold goes away. It can be very irritating, so I guess its just a matter of ride it out.

Hi, I got banded 7 months ago and just got a horrible cold. I seem to have no appetite and also if I go to eat I make so much mucous that I just can't eat. I do very well with liquids, but only two bites of solid food until I can no longer

eat anymore. Anyone else experience difficulty in eating with a cold?

I am so grateful to find this thread. I have been fighting a virus/cold/bronchitis/cough for about 2 weeks now. Tonight was miserable. I was dozing off and on, propt(sp?) on pillows - spitting up acid and mucus every hour or so, the pain is terrible, crunching on Tums (only thing I have). Then about 30 min ago or so; started vomiting up acid snd snot, to the point of dry heaves.

I will definetly do the days of clear liquids, skip an antibiotic pill today.

It is times like these I am so scared the band has slipped or eroded. I am glad to know I am not the only one.

Go Clear Liquids. :sneaky:

Thanks, Melissa

Everyone around where I live has had rotovirus for the last couple of weeks. Lots of throwing up and such. I was scared when I got it I would hurt my band, but I only threw up once. I feel lucky. When my daughter gets head colds she throws up mucus a lot in the mornings. Everyone is different I guess.
