Help!!!!!!! My date is set tomorrow (6th) and I have came down with a cold. So what are my chance that they will want to reschedule? I don't know that I can do the liquid diet any longer with out the band. I need some encouragement!!!!

Thanks

I am most likely over reacting.

I know you probably want to have your surgery ASAP, but I would call the Dr.'s office and see what they want you to do. You don't want to be sick while recovering from surgery :D

How bad is the cold? I got a chest cold while I was recovering from my surgery and it was miserable. Everytime I coughed it felt like someone was stabbing me. I was so afraid of tearing stiches, dislodging my band, and popping my incisions open. I would not reccomend it to anyone. Be upfront with your Doc and see what he/she suggests. Good luck! You've come this far, a couple of days more may be worth it......................

Thanks guys!! I am not running a temp, but I have a itchy sore throat which might be gone by tommorrow. I really don't have a cough, but every once and awhile if I talk to much I will get a dry cough. I would think my chest will be clear and I should be good to go. Keep your prayers that I will get it done.

Thanks again!!

I have found this site soooooo helpful

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
