I was banded April 17 2009 and it all went well. Then about 6 day after surgery I started coughing I thought it was a cold but it been almost 2 weeks ? Any ideas or fixes. I am not sleeping at night very well.

you should go to your regular doctor. Many things non-band related could be causing your cough.

I had something similar. Mine lasted about six weeks and i finally attributed it to allergies. Once I started taking more Zyrtec it seemed to get better. Mine was a constant tickle in the back of my throat. There's also something called night coughing but that is more band related and might have to do with being too tight. You might try searching for 'night coughing' on the forums if that is more what you are having.

I agree you should call your dr.. One thing on my list to call was if i started coughing. Good luck..

I agree about calling the doctor. It may not have anything to do with banding unless it is coughing with reflux in the middle of the night. There may be a simple explanation that might have an easy resolution.

Thanks everyone. I called the Doc and they said try reflux medication. Lets hope it helps.
