I caught stomach flu from my grand child. Was very very nauseated stomach cramps and threw up , I had very bad heaves as my band would not let me throw up very much. I had pain in my stomach,I was throwing up from my pouch I survived has this ever happen to anyone? My ribs were very sore.:thumbup:

I cannot even imagine what the pain felt like. I sneezed a week after my surgery and was in tears!! I almost got sick from the anesthesia in the hospital and the nurses gave me a shot to calm my stomach because they didnt want me to throw up and possibly cause my band to slip. From what I have been told that you will know if your band slips because it is very painful. Are you having any type of pain except for your ribs? If yes, I would call your doctor just to be safe!

I'm not having any more pain, and I still feel restriction. But everybody watch out for the flu

yes the flu is going around, I've been nauseated x 2 days now and realized maypeople at work have been sick with thi flu bug. I'm not vomiting at least but feel awful. I thought it was the band or that I ate something I shouldn't but think its more the flu....

I just got over a week of the flu, I'm not even kidding, I was sitting on the floor of the bathroom crying, praying for it to be over, I have nausea, vomiting and diarrhea for 7 days, just ate popsicles and pedialyte to get me though, it was horrible mainly for the nausea and vomiting part, i was terrified my band would slip, but it was safe (thank god!!) i hope your feeling better soon!!

My husband and one of my kids just got over the flu and I am scared that I will be next. I called my dr. and was told that if I started to feel sick to call to get a rx for anti-nausea meds. I don't know if it is just because I am 12 days post or if this means I need to do this from now on.
