Have a cold and tomorrow is surgery!

Anyone have an issue with that? No fever or anything, just congestion. Sucks not being able to take a decongestant!

Lots of steam from hot shower?

My surgery is a week from today and I woke up today with some congestion and I was like "OH HECK NAW" and over dosed myself with Vitamins. I do feel better now but will keep an eye on anything developing.

By the way, for anyone who wants to know.. the berry flavor Bariatric Choice Vitamins are gross.

Get rid of the symptoms ASAP!!! The anesthesiologist may not let you have surgery! Do whatever you have to do!

Be careful. I started to feel a tickle in my throat & some sinus yuck the day before my surgery. Then after the surgery I almost ended up with pneumonia. Use that breathing thing they give you as often as possible & good luck. It's no fun coughing with a sore tummy. Antibiotics are a WONDERFUL thing!

Cross your fingers that you wake up without it in the morning! My orignal surgery date was 8-23, and I started to feel a tickle in my throat on the way home from my pre-op stuff at the hospital, two days before surgery. By Thursday though, it was obvious that I was too sick. I had to reschedule my surgery.

They did tell me though that they will usually do surgery on someone with a cold/allergies, as long as there is no fever and it hasn't lodged in your chest.

Good luck to you tomorrow.

      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! 😞
