Anyone get the Covid vaccine after the surgery?

I did and wished I waited just a bit longer (I was about 3 weeks out). I was horribly nauseous and ended up throwing up quite a bit. I was nervous the whole time that I was going to hurt my stomach. I would have waited another few weeks if I had to do it over again.

I got mine the day after my two week post op appointment. Dr said it was okay. I didn’t have any side effects at all. Everything was fine.

They wanted me to wait one month to get it. I will be getting my second dose on Saturday.

Got mine today(Pfizer) and it has me soooo tired! I’m almost 3 months out.

Hey I'm getting my Astra Zeneca on 2nd June, nearly full month after my sleeve. My doc said it should be okay but to be aware of the vaccine side effects instead.

I got the second Pfizer shot two weeks after my surgery. I had the standard side effects - body aches, chills, fatigue - but it lasted most of one day and then I was fine. Worth it to not get Covid!

Got the Moderna (3 months post op). I'm fine!

Pfizer. 2nd shot over a month ago and I was well post-op at that time. Literally zero side effects from shot 2.

I did. I had my surgery in December and got my vaccine in February. I had no ill side effects at all. So glad I did both!

So I got my second Pfizer shot Saturday. The first shot I had no issues other than a sore arm and I thought I had a few bites (flea? Spider) on my arm that itched….. no big deal. Can you see where this is going?
The second shot: I got it Saturday morning and then I had to rush out to go to an event. I wore long sleeves and long pants…. I didn’t realize until I got home and got in the shower that I had an allergic reaction. Hives. They are now pretty much everywhere except my face/hands/and feet. They were in my throat for the first two days but those have receded.
benedryl does nothing. I have a call in with my dr and they are going to figure something out hopefully. I want the itch to stop!!!

Fully vaccinated since March and no problems except a sore arm both times.

I got vaccinated in January about 2 months post op. No problems, felt a bit run down after the second dose but it lasted less than a day then back to business.

I got fully vaccinated in February. I got Pfizer. I had no side effects except a mildly sore arm the first day both times.

I got my vaccines too and no problems with it

Oh no!!! I'm sorry that happened to you! Hope you get better soon!
