SURGERY IN 5 DAYS AND I HAVE A BAD COLD.



Recommended Posts

I'm going to Mexico on Thursday and getting sleved on friday, yes the 13th and i started getting sick yesterday. Seriously...WTH!! I havent been sick in over a year...why the hell now. On an amazing note, I've been doing my pre-op diet for a week now and I'm down 13 pounds. Really hoping to start feeling better before I get to Mexico.

I would go to your PCP. I would try to build up your immune system before surgery. It took alot out of me. I had just started getting a sore throat the day of surgery. I had a real hard time breathing afterwards. Don't play around with it. It was scary for me.

My surgery is this Monday and I woke up Friday with a head cold. I haven't been sick in over a year! I took a bunch of vitamin-C and Airborne, and drank a lot of watered down OJ and today I can breathe through my nose again. I was so worried I would have to miss surgery on Monday, but I read that as long as you don't have a fever and you can breathe decently, it shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully you have enough time to recover between now and next week.

I have to drive 10 minutes to the hospital for my surgery, so I can't imagine how upsetting it would be to get sick right before a trip to Mexico. I'll take some extra Vitamin C for you! Hope you feel better! :)

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
