I am 6 weeks post op... Will be seeing my doctor onWednesday. Was curious have any of you had a flu shot? I take one every year because I am a teacher and I pick up a lot of germs. Was not sure if we have to wait or if I could go ahead and have it. I'm very protective of my sleeve these days !! Lol thanks Alyce

I am just coming up on my 6 week post op. I saw my endocrinologist at 3 weeks out from surgery. He said I was fine in getting the shot. I haven't had any issues!

Get it! I am close to 4 months post-op and I teach and like a dumb-a$$ didn't do a flu shot this year, worrying about the surgery. Guess what? As I type this I am home today & tomorrow because I have what they think is a cold but is starting to look like the flu. I have a horrid headache, mucous-y in every orifice in my head, a baaaaad sore throat, cant eat much, achy, tired, and down right miserable.

Such is the life of a teacher. LOLOL

I got mine last month. I have an auto-immune disease (RA) so I have got to get it every year. I had no adverse effects because of it.

I got mine today. My surgery is next week and wanted to avoid any postponement after surgery.

I also have asthma and get one every year anyway. Plus I work at a hospital.

After reading some of the stories sure glad I did.

Like I said, will be joining this side of the journey next week.

Good luck! That first week or two was tough but once you start getting up and moving better you will be so glad you did it!

Thanks. My son is here for the first few days and he will "encourage" me to walk. So, it will be a good start and no excuses for sitting around.

And I have another friend it two that I will ask to walk with me after that.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
