I'm not sure but I hope it works out for you. Being you were on antibiotics it should clear it up I would think. I would call the dr to ease my mind.

Have you tried Vitamin C? I take this regularly, guards against all that stuff going around. I take 500 mg 3-4 tablets in the winter, 1 in summer and 2 in spring and fall. Has helped me for years. The body takes what it needs and sheds the rest during the day. Just my suggestion.

I know two people who went in with a cold and still got operated on. As long as it's a "head cold" and there's no congestion in your lungs, I believe they will still do it. I had a cold about three weeks before my surgery and took one Mucinexa day for two days and mine went away. Also drank a TON of Water. Good luck!

I had surgery on 9/13 in Mexico. I was on the Z PAC for a sinus infection and I had a cough. They still performed the surgery. They gave me breathing treatments every 6 hours for the 2 days I was in the hospital. As long as you don't run a fever you should be fine. Get better and good luck.

I am feeling wonderful. Very tired but I'm back to work and expected. Cold is gone thank goodness. I'm down 40 lbs so far between pre-op diet for 2 weeks and surgery 2 weeks ago. So much more to go but I already feel the difference. Thanks for asking and I wish you all the best.

      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!
