Tummy Bugs

[julieann]

Hi all
I have been a member now since I had my band fitted two years ago. I must be honest and say that I haven't posted on here for a few months now, mainly due to personal problems, but I do log in regularly and check on everyone's posts. My question is to any fellow banders and maybe a rather odd question to ask but here goes. Is it still possible to get sickness bugs when at good restriction??? As disgusting as it sounds we all know how easy it is to get food stuck, so how could you be sick if it has to come back up through the band, if that makes sense. The only reason I ask this question (and I don't want to tempt fate) is that ive felt very very sick over the last couple of days along with the gripey tummy but can't be sick. Hope someone out there can shed some light xx

Oooo, I'm a bypasser so hopefully an experienced bander will be along in abit, but I will say having a band will definitely NOT stop you from getting a tummy bug.

Yes you can, two weeks ago I had a very nasty bout of food poisoning and was sick for hours...

It seems ok now but for a week after I was very tight.

I've wondered this too because when I had a bug last year a few days with no sickness but a terrible need to vomit, then it seemed to ease by coming out the other end. I just thought it worked its way out like that.
