I have a question about being sick

He everyone, thanks for reading my question. I had a fill on March 2nd, and then within days had some crazy sinus infection that became bronchitis, and needless to say have been coughing, really, really hard, ever since. I am finally feeling a lot better, but I do not think I am feeling much restriction. Does coughing screw with your band? I haven't been eating too much, but it seems odd that I don't feel restriction and was just filled three weeks ago, and really haven't lost anything in a while. I am on a really tough plateau, and have changed up my fitness routine to try to trick the body into busting it. I am just worried that the violent coughing may have dislodged my band or something? Am I being paranoid? Any help given would be really appreciated. Thanks again :)

I doubt if you could hurt your band from coughing but you could always call your doctor and ask that.

It's common not to have restriction to continue until you're near goal.

Have you read the thread in the fills section? I think it's called how the band works, fills and refills. It's by Wendall

Edwards. It should be easy to find. It's a sticky in the fill section of this board.
