I am suppose to be banded Monday but I woke up this morning with a little bit of a sore throat. I am a little nervous about calling the Surgeon because he might want to reschedule the surgery. I feel fine I Think it might just be my Sinuses Draining a little. I don’t Know what to do!

I say give it two days. Lots of fluids and rest. See how you feel on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

I am crossing my fingers for you that it's just a temporary itchy throat.

Best wishes!

I just talked to the nurse, she called to tell me what time to be ther monday. She said as long as I am not running a Fever than everything is fine for monday. Also she said that I can take anything over the counter for my cold.

I had the same thing happen to me. I'm due to be banded on Wed the 22nd. This past Thursday, I started having a sore throat and stuffed up head. I got soooo nervous, I didn't know what to do. I've waited too long to have my surgery cancelled just days before due to a silly little allergy/sinus issue! So, I crossed my fingers and called the nurse at the surgeon's office. She told me to take some Zirtec over the weekend and I'd be fine for surgery on Wednesday.

Good Luck on Monday!

Go get an Odowalla C Monster drink. It has always workd for me when I am feeling an illness coming on. It will nip it in the bud. It can't hurt right!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
