I am scheduled for surgery on Tuesday and yesterday I started getting a minor cold just a congested runny nose. I'm scared that they won't operate on me because of this. Has anyone else had a cold right before surgery? Did they operate on you?

Try using plain old saline nasal spray 3-4 times a day. This always helped me get rid of colds faster

I was instructed To only take Tylenol from 1 week till surgery. I been taking Tylenol it just doesn't seem to work. My sinuses are also worse in the morning, during the day it's not as bad. It's very irritating.

Jenna, I read on obesity help that most dr willoperate as long as you don't have a fever I hope that's true.

I would try the saline spray. It will flush your sinuses out. I use simply saline. It's a mist and it works wonders.

      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.

        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!
