Uh-Oh...i'm Getting Sick And Its 8 Days Til Surgery



Recommended Posts

Just my luck. Lastnight I noticed that my throat was getting very scratchy. Tonight when I woke up before coming to work I noticed that my throat was hurting terribly and my nose is stuffy. WTH?!?!?

Hope this doesn't effect my surgery. :wacko:

If you are full blown sick it probably will. Take extra good care of yourself and rest as much as you can... good luck!

I go to my PCM tomorrow for my labs and referrals to the Cardiology, Pulmonology, Gastro, and Psych. Hopefully I can get appointments sooner rather than later. I am hoping for a January surgery date. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Thank you for asking.

I've been petrified of the SAME thing now that I'm only a couple days away from my surgery. I've been trying to drink as much Water as I can, REST as much as I can and am constantly washing my hands and using Wet Ones! Take some sugar free Vitamin C drops and keep drinking lots of water. I think you will be okay!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
