What happens when you get the flu and throw up. I know its gross but how does it feel? Does it hurt? My husband and I are both being banded and he asked me to ask the forum this question. Thank you

our surgeon (DH and I) told us to call the office to have an unfill. Better safe than sorry. We actually had a "scare" this weekend. DH got very sick to his stomach. He just tried to stay calm until the nausea passed. DH is deathly afraid to throw up. We know it's gonna happen sooner or later.:purplebananna:

I had the flu a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't throw up. The mere IDEA of food made me nauseas, so instead of pushing the point, I just chose to drink a lot of Water and not eat anything when I felt that way. I had one piece of toast one day, and an English muffin another day. My husband was nagging me to eat, but it just didn't make sense to eat KNOWING that I'd just throw it up.

I have thrown up with the band, and it basically hasn't been any more unpleasant for me than it ever was before I guess... but if I had a stomach bug that was causing me to throw up a lot no matter what I did, I would try to get an unfill so that I didn't have to worry about it.

Thank you for the info everyone. Good to know

A few months ago I dealt with a quick bout of stomach flu. I went to the urgent care and they gave me some REALLY cool stuff that killed off the nausea in less than 5 min. I know that my Dr. wasn't in the office so that was my only option. I would double check with your Dr. about what he would recommend for you to take. There is anti-nausea meds that you can take.

Good luck,

Annette

Thank you everyone for the advice.
