Getting sick will they make me reschedule surgery?



Recommended Posts

Everyone around me has been really sick with the flu. Not stomach thank goodness. I'm coming down with this darn thing, wondering if I will have to reschedule. I'm afraid I will be full blown on Friday when my surgery is scheduled :(

Can you take some cold-eeze to see if it will stop the symptoms? Dose up on a bunch of Vitamins and see how you feel for the next 24 hours. I would have a hard time rescheduling the surgery date and then starting the pre-op diet over again. But then again, you don't want to be sick. Sorry you are finding yourself in this situation. I'm sure you will do whatever is best. Maybe try the vitamins for 24 hours and then call the doc if you still think you are getting sick.

Everyone around me has been sick. I've been doing Zicam and airborne for the last 2 weeks. I'm afraid I'm delaying the inevitable. Each day another symptom surfaces. I've added Vitamin C too along with Vitamins.

Calling doc tomorrow to see what they say.

Yes I know I don't want to have to start the Clear liquids over considering he makes us do 4 weeks after!!!!

You don't want surgery, especially, aneasthesia, with a virus in you.

My suggestion, call asap so they can reschedule you the sooner the better.

Yep rescheduled for either the 8th or 15th. It was nice to have some homemade chicken noodle Soup tonight!

      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.
