Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Did your doctor culture the wound? It is VERY common to have a seroma and that looks very much like an infection and it's not. If he didn't culture it, it might not be an infection.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 It's possible to cause harm with vomiting for banded folks. First thing you should do is contact your doctor and get something to take away the nausea and vomiting, something like Zofran, Phenergan, Tigan, etc. If you are vomiting a great deal an unfill might be in order. Some drugs come in suppository form. On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 9:03 PM, <elbaposs@...> wrote: Hey bipley I have a question this evening my stomach started killing me flu like stomach ache.
