My surgery is Wednesday. Got my Covid test on Friday. Negative. I don't recall anyone saying to quarantine at all. Even the nurse who called to give me my pre surgery info said, "now someone may say to quarantine, especially after your test and you test negative but, do what you have to do. Meaning, if you need to go out and food shop or something similar, it is what it is, you can just wear a mask."

My surgery is May 19th as well and I just got my covid test. I was told that I didn’t have to quarantine but to follow social distancing guidelines and where a mask where required. I was also told if I had been vaccinated for over 2 weeks I wouldn’t have even had to do a covid test.

My surgery is tomorrow, May 18th. Just had my covid test 2 days a go and they made no recommendations at all. Just "Good Luck!"

Surgery was may 6. Got back in country on May 9. They gave me medical exemption. However........ I am self quarantining BC I think it is the responsible thing to do as I traveled in airports, airplanes (x4) and in another country.

Covid police have called me at home and I fill out daily from Arrive Can app too.

I didn’t even have to get a COVID test. I was surprised but they didn’t require it at my hospital.

I'm Canadian so I had to get a PCR test two days before I left. Then I got another one from my clinic the day before I left from the hospital as I was going back to Canada from Mexico

I’ve had 3 surgeries since August 2020 which was my VSG to RNY revision. For that one I was told to quarantine and only leave the house for work…. I work in a hospital 😂🤷‍♀️.

For the other 2 they were emergency surgery I was already in the hospital as a patient when I had what’s called a “rapid Covid” done so no quarantine needed.

      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!!
