My surgery is scheduled for February 4th. I had a UTI and am currently still finishing antibiotics. I also had a strange GI virus , no vomiting but had the other yucky symptom. That's better now. But now both of my kids have colds. Anyway, I'm nervous. Anyone out there?

Hopefully someone will have had a similar experience and able to reassure you.

You still have about five days to go, hopefully everyone's colds will have cleared up by them.

Hope all goes well for your surgery!

You could try some Zicam, shouldn't hurt, might help, keep your hands washed to slow down the germs getting YOU.

I'd definitely give the Zicam a go as Frustr8 says, and maybe Airborne or EmergenC.

My surgery is Feb 5th and I am so paranoid about getting sick beforehand!

Thanks for asking! Physically, I'm fine. Mentally, I'm getting nervous and anxious due to the weirdness of my home situation and my husband not knowing about the surgery. Eek. My daughters are my cheerleaders though. Looking forward to being on the other side, as I'm sure you are!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
