I was banded 2-25-08 all has been progressing nicely until the last few days.

I got this "virus" that is going around and have been "hacking" up a lung literally, the regular doctor says rest, liquids, formula 44 for cough and congestion, I have hacked so much that my chest is sore, back is sore and now I feel SUPER tight, liquids only tight, did I do damage to my band or just irritate my stomach/band from all the violent coughing and hacking, I love my band I don't want to lose it!

Thanks

Were you throwing up or just coughing really hard ?

If you did not throw up a lot your probably ok . I can see the band becoming tight from the coughing , I would call your band doc and let him know what is going on . Anytime I get sick , have health issues, i call my band doc and let him know what is going on . General Practionars do not know enough about bands to know when they need to be unfilled and when they dont. If you ever start throwing up from a virus you need to call your band doc ASAP .

But as a general rule i call my band doc if im ill with something . (Not colds ect but something long lasting ect. )

Easter Sunday or not , if your worried that's what you paid for . A doc is on call for a reason . Chances are they will listen to what you say , if its not a concern they will tell you to come in Monday to take a look . But I PROMISE you you will feel better for calling. You paid your surgeon for his services, its his job to take your calls when you have issues! Its not a bother !

I have been coughing so much, I almost can't take it anymore. At least now I am "hacking" it up. Is it okay to take a cough elixir do you think?

Any kind of Medical question needs to be asked to your doctor.

Docs all have different advice when it comes to the band , my personal opinion the boards are not the place to be asking those questions.. Call your doc

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
