I am wondering if there are any comments or observations on being sick after getting the sleeve. Since reading VST a couple months ago, I have not seen this topic come up.

I had a 5 day common cold (no more nausea than normal) before today and will probably be over it in a few days. It wasn't too bad, but there was a day when i had 102.5 temp for about 1/2 day. Is there anything we should watch out for? I felt really wiped out so reduced exercise to just walking with my dog. I still pretty much ate same foods, but didn't want spicy meat at all (not normal for me!). Thanks in advance for your comments.

I got a bad cold about 6 months out. It took several weeks to get rid of it. The one thing I did notice is it upset my stomach a bit because of the nasal drainage.

I just got over a cold last week. I noticed the cold meds zapped me more than before, and that I had to take half doses because the pills were killing my stomach. I also had zero appetite, and the few things I did attempt to eat just tasted off to me. Now that the cold is out of my system, I still feel a little exhausted, but my appetite is definitely back. I actually felt seriously hungry the other day. I'll be 6 months post op tomorrow, and had 0 complications since surgery. Oh, and I'm not sure if this is connected, but I was the only one in my house to get sick. I live with my husband, my 5 yr old and my 2 yr old. I'm guessing my immune system isn't as strong as it used to be.

Thank you for your responses. They are very helpful and are in line with my experience (not hungry, completely wiped out, etc). I hope it ends soon because getting the high fevers for multiple days now is no fun.
