Stomach Bugs After Surgery...

Hi,

When you catch a stomach bug or flu after surgery, do you find it is a different experience than prior to surgery?  I think I may have had something last night, and while it sucked, it was so much easier than it would have been before...

Just wondered if I'm alone!  LOL

I have often wondered this.  Looking forward to hearing the responses to this one. :)  Hope you're feeling better.

Hi there
GROSS sorry

WAY different. I have had a few bugs, and it consisted mostly of the runs. The only vomitting that occured was if there was any food in my pouch and it came back up just as it went in. You don't get that bile and yucky vomit taste(sorry)
You get the fever, chills etc
I am a person who HATES to throw up.

Hope that answers the question LOL

Have a great day

I haven't vomitted in the last 4 years. I find the bugs now mostly just have me feeling crappy without throwing up. I will say too that I get sick a lot less often now and it usually passes pretty quickly. I think because my overall health is better.

Laura, GOOD DARN QUESTION>....

I never was one to get sick much in the past, but since loading up on vitamins pre surgery and since surgery, i've not even had a cold or the sniffles.

I put it down to lots of vitamins and healthy eat and lots of water. even when someone at home gets sick, I don't catch it.

could be conincidence but I'll take whatever it is.
