Surgery Feb 4th anybody get sick before?



Recommended Posts

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!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
