Sickier More Than Normal....

[legal loser 77]

I am six months post op and working on 3rd cold in 2 months...with this one and the last one just about 2 weeks apart. I used to be able to go a year with maybe one cold.....anyone else find themselves getting sick more often post op??

Yup, I have gotten sick 3 x since surgery. I am currently 4 months out. It is a little weird for me too because I would go from year to year and not get sick where it lasts 1-2 weeks. Maybe one or two under the weather days. It may be that our immune systems are weaker or that the toxins released from toxic fat is making us sick. I hope someone knows.

Yeah, your immune system weakens after surgery so it's to be expected. Take some extra zinc, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C (of course check with your Doc 1st) but that should hopefully help.

Thanks, I just started taking a c supplement a week ago so hope that helps.

Turns out the cold never truly went away and that's why it seemed it came back again.....it is now a sinus infection. On an antibiotic....had to educate the GP a bit to come up with best medicine!! Had 6 month follow up and labs done last week. Will ask nurse what I can take when she calls to go over them!
