Double Ear Infection



Recommended Posts

I came down with a double ear infection over the holidays (probably the after effects of a cold earlier in December) but I called the surgeon's office today and let them know about it and they said as long as I wasn't experiencing any fever I was ok to stick to my surgery date. I'll be finishing up a 10-day run of antibiotics the day before surgery but I guess that's ok. I'm glad not to have to put off surgery but a little worried at the same time.

You should be fine by then. I feel for you. I had ear infections as a child and I have had a few as an adult. One of the most painful things. Get well soon.

Thanks! It seems to have turned a corner over last night. I still have the "plugged ears" sensation but it doesn't hurt when I put my head down any more. I talked to my insurance case nurse too and she said the same- as long as I wasn't experiencing any fever or worsening symptoms I'd be fine to go ahead.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
