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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
