OT - Flu shot?
I try to get one every year. Missed one year in the 6 years since my RNY. No colds since my surgery, had a runny nose for one day. Prior to surgery I had a few days every month with a runny nose, but seldom a cold or flu. So it may have been an allergy symptom. No ill effects from any flu shot I've had since surgery. DAVE

I always make sure we get the flu shot b/c my son got seriously ill from the flu when he was 4yrs old, and had to be hospitalized, and my daughter suffers from kidney disease so the flu is the last thing she needs. and I have to say we have not been stricken w/ the flu since we started getting the shots.
