Anyone else caught a cold right before surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm so worried! My 18 month old grandson (who lives with me) has a cold. To make matters worse, I work in a germ factory A.K.A school and I swear half my students were coughing, sneezing, and sniffling. I'm so scared I'm going to catch something and my surgery will be postponed. It will really mess up my disability paperwork, work, etc., not to mention I'll probably have to do this damn 2 week liquid diet all over again! Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips or advice for staying healthy and if I do get sick, any tips for getting rid of this quick? Surgery is this coming Wednesday!!

Yes take Vitamin C!! I just bought the generic Vitamin C supplements and take them in addition to my multivitamin! It should help you! Also you can try Zicam. It's nasty but my in laws swear by it. You take it at the first sign of illness though.

My son has recently gotten sick also with a fever and cold symptoms. I told him I couldn't love on him as much because of my surgery May 5th????. Anyhow I have been taking extra Vitamins and also having fresh oranges. Drinking a lot of Water and making sure I sanitize and wash a lot. But if you work at a school I would imagine your immune systems defenses are pretty darn good. You are exposed to,I don't know how many, different immune systems every day. So that honestly works in your favor. Other than that for me I just try to give it to God. I am rooting for you and understand ALL of the arrangements you need to orchestrate to make this happen. Best of luck!!!

      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.

      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!
