Stuffy nose....surgery on 4/18



Recommended Posts

Seriously, could my timing be any worse? I think I'm getting a cold...I say think because I have a stuffy nose, but no cough, no sneezing and I don't "feel" bad so I'm hoping that the stuffy nose will disappear by Monday. I'm NOT rescheduling this surgery! If I have to reschedule it isn't going to happen until June! Anyhow, I have no fever and like I said, I don't feel bad other than this stuffy nose. I have 5 days till sugery. I'm assuming I should be okay for surgery with just a stuffy nose, if things don't get worse...what do you think?

Thanks - Staci

I had a bit of a stuffy nose the day before surgery. I bought some Afrin and used it in the morning and had no problems.

Since all you have is a stuffy nose it may be more allergy related then cold related. You may want to call your doctor and see if you can take some zyrtec or allegra for a few days to see if the symptons go away. I'm from NJ and everything is just starting to bloom and burst so it could be something irritating you that way. I would also ask if you could take some airborne in case it is going the route of a cold....maybe you can stop it in it's tracks. Good luck.............I don't wish getting sick on anyone with this. I was fine the day of surgery but noticed my throat was very dry and by the morning after surgery I wound up with full blown bronchitis and struggled really bad with not being able to drink for 24 hours and not to mention the coughing with the incisions was a whole lot of fun LOL NOT.

I agree, i think it's probably just some allergies BUT if it does get worse I would tell your doctor. Better safe than sorry. Good luck!

I had the worst cold the week before surgery, and they said it should be ok. I was feeling maybe 85% better by the time I had it. They just ran it by the anesthesiologist and my surgeon before had.

Definitely call your doctor. So at least they know.

      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.
