Start taking zicam swabs asap! They will help shorten the sickness. Sometimes to just a few days. Surgery Date: 11/16/17 5'8" HW- 416 (Sept. 2014) SW- 350 CW- 341 GW- 160

I just went through this same thing on November 16th. I was wheezing and had bronchitis. They gave me a breathing treatment and went on with the surgery. Coughing post op was a bit of a pain. Good luck!

Yay! You will do great!! A few things that saved my life were MOUTHWASH omg! I also brought the biotine stuff but good old fashioned scope mouthwash was a lifesaver for me! Also a small fan, a heating pad crystal light drops. I will be praying for you! Good luck! Surgery Date: 11/16/17 5'8" HW- 416 (Sept. 2014) CW- 351.6 SW-????? GW- 160

My plan is only 1/2 water and 1/2 juice for the entire first week. No protein at all. I would just concentrate on fluids for now. Good luck! Surgery Date: 11/16/17 HW- 416 (Sept. 2014) CW- 353.4 SW-????? GW- 160

I have been taking Zicam swabs. Did you have a cough? I am perfectly fine besides this darn cough! No fever or anything. I'm determined to kick this by Thursday. My insurance changes Jan 1st so I am terrified of being rescheduled! I had a baby this year so I've reached my deductible and max out of pocket for the year.. Been drinking a ton of broth, sitting in the steamy shower, Benadryl, sudafed, inhaling essential oils the whole 9! Ughughugh! Surgery Date: 11/16/17 HW- 416 (Sept. 2014) CW- 353.4 SW-????? GW- 160

Congrats! Thoughts and prayers for an easy recovery! Surgery Date: 11/16/17 HW- 416 (Sept. 2014) CW- 353.4 SW-????? GW- 160

Came down with a cold and my surgery is on Thursday. Have some crackling in my lungs and a cough. What are the chances this can be gone by then. Any ideas? Surgery Date: 11/16/17 HW- 416 (Sept. 2014) CW- 353.4 SW-????? GW- 160

Yay good luck! Let us know how it went! Surgery Date: 11/16/17 HW- 416 (Sept. 2014) CW- 353.4 SW-????? GW- 160

Oh dear, good luck! I took 2,000 mg of vitamin c and some Benadryl last night. Here's hoping it runs its course before the end of the week!Surgery Date: 11/16/17 HW- 416 (Sept. 2014) CW- 353.4 SW-????? GW- 160

Well my fears have come true! I've developed a nagging wheezy cough right before surgery. Luckily I have no other symptoms. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get rid of it before my surgery on Thursday?? Thank you so much!!! Surgery Date: 11/16/17 HW- 416 (Sept. 2014) CW- 353.4 SW-????? GW- 160

You can do it! I think day 2 I wanted to die but after that was way easier. I'm a mom of 4 so I know how you feel! Hang in there it will be over soon!
