My VSG surgery is scheduled for 2 days from now. I lost my voice and have a horrible sore throat for 3 days, I went to the express care and rapid steep test was negative. I'm exhausted from being in the preop diet and not eating, and can't sleep from the throat pain. I am so angry and confused. Should i postpone the surgery? My husband and I have already scheduled off work and childcare for my kids. I have done entire week of preop diet. I am torn because I want to have the surgery and have everything in line and have worked so hard.

I suspect the surgeon will decide if it's safe. You should let him know you're sick, as if they need to cancel this last minute it frees up the O.R. for another patient potentially? I hope you recover quickly and get to make this happen on schedule!

Nope. I was just as sick. My surgeon ok'd OTC meds and surgery went on as scheduled.

Still having surgery tomorrow. Thankfully feeling a bit better just in time.

Hello I had the surgery. No major complications except I threw up a ton which hurt a lot. Finally 2 days post op and going home soon. Able to drink slow apple juice and broth. Yay. Thanks for all the encouragement!
