I am 5 days pre-op. I'm strictly following the liver reduction diet. I have dropped nearly 35 lbs in less than 9 weeks.....

So why am I feeling sick tonight.... like sinuses and swollen glands, sore-ish throat??!! I thought I recall seeing some other posts made about getting sick before surgery too. IS THIS COMMON? Uggg I don't think I can take anything. I have to check my little manual to see if I can take something!

I'll flip if I am truely getting sick 5 days before surgery!

OMG! My surgery is a day after yours and I am feeling the EXACT same way! I never get sick! My throat hurts, glands swollen, and I'm achy. I'm so worried!!! I hope you feel better! It's almost time!!!

It's like I have a cold - with some brown phlegm (indicitive of an infection). It hasn;t full on hit me, but it's there.

I dont recall you posting in my other thread. Search it - its a thread for people having RNY on April 15-16-17. But join it if you would like.

***doing the countdown dance*** !!! :D

Don't go ahead without checking with doctor you need to get it checked and get an antibiotic. My surgery has been postponed due to the same and more symptoms. Your lungs must be clear before you proceed. You wanna make sure you breathe after the operation and recover well.

I actually woke up feeling much better (I also had a clear chest X-ray day before yesterday). I have a feeling my throat was reacting to the change in temp outside. It went from hot to cold in one day. This chubby girls body was not a fan. Lol
