Help! I Need Some Serious Advice!



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for surgery on Friday 8/17, it has already been postponed once due to a thyroid issue, which I have gotten under control with medication, But now I have a stomach bug. I've was nauseous and vomiting on Monday and today I just have diarrhea. I was running a fever of 100.6 last night but have been at 97.4 all day today.

Will they reschedule my surgery if I still have symptoms but no fever? I wanted to see if I got any better today before calling my surgeon. Has this happened to anyone, having a stomach bug before surgery?

Advice, please!!!

I'm sure if you are not running a fever for over 48 hours you'll be fine. My fear was catching some bug before surgery and having to postpone and such....told everyone up here at the office if you are sick - stay far away from me....

I hope all is ok.

Generally if you don't have a fever you will be OK. But please do call and ask. You're already doing better and Friday is lots & lots of hours away. I did not have a stomach bug, but 3 days before my surgery I woke up feeling like I was getting a major sinus cold. :(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
