Recommended Posts

Ok, so I'm set for Wed to have the procedure. But as of last night I started getting a sore throat. Switch to 5am and it's worse and still here!!!! I took Tylenol, not helping! What should I do? I don't want surgery to be rescheduled!!!!!

If you are running a temp or have been feeling achy or hot flashes or chills you need to inform your Dr. sooner than later. He may be able to move you to another date. Irregardless of scheduling you could be putting yourself in harms if you do not infom your Dr.

Alka selzer makes this "tea" like therapy. It's like theraflu. It is awesome. Usually when I start feeling a scratch, I start taking Vitamin C, drinking orange and grapefruit juice or those c-monsters by odwalla! But, you definitely don't want to have surgery when your body is in that weakened/vulnerable state.

Thanks everyone, so far no aches just a sore throat, but it's the kind that doesn't just seem scratchy. I'm going to go to an medi center soon and see what they say. But I will contact the surgeon either way. Thx everyone!!!

Wow you guys are simply the best!!! Ok not exactly sure if I have a sinus thing or strep etc but I explained to the doctor at the medi center about my upcoming surgery. Long story short she wanted to get me on zpac 5 day antibiotic to be proactive! So other than feeling weak and lazy I'm just Chillen in bed and using the other home remedies you guys suggested!

Thx again seriously!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
