Feeling Sick-May have to reschedule



Recommended Posts

I woke up yesterday with little cough and today, I have a sore throat a cough and dry heaves :w00t:( YUK :huh2:

My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday...

I guess I will have to postpone my journey- but I believe Everything happens for a reason...

Hopefully tomorrow I'll wake up good as new and we won't have to worry!

Yes, I have HIGH HOPES!

If you are running a fever, i'm am sure it will be postponed, however, I don't believe that things happen for a reason. You simple got sick. Keep the lap band in mind. Don't ever give up, you will not regret it.

I have to say I totally believe things happen for a reason ..Just maybe though you will be fine and dandy by Wednesday ... Not to stress take it one day at a time.

Don't worry- I'm not giving up... I just figure I'm not supposed to have the surgery this week... I guess I didn't realized I was getting sick and some higher power made it happen before the surgery to avoid additional pain... The cough is rough and deep. It will be very painful to have sutures and a cough!

If I have to wait another couple of weeks, so be it. There are worse things in life than having to be patient!

I'll call tomorrow to check in the surgeon and see what they have to say. No fever thank God! I took some tylenol earlier, but I can't get rid of this heaviness in my chess. :lol:

Yesterday I woke up with a mild sore throat, and it's still sore today and my voice sounds deep. No congestion, fever or anything else though. I'm hoping it's just sinus drainage, so I'm not re-scheduling. My surgery is this Wednesday.

I agree, sometimes it's just better to post-pone. It helps in the long run for the body to heal.

God Bless and good luck on your decision!!

Dbowers- just be careful and let your surgeon know what's going on. You don't want to wind up with a cough when you have a bunch of sutures on your body- That would just hurt way too much!!! Best of luck to you- keep us posted! :rolleyes:

And GrosseFemme- You have the Best Surgery Date EVER!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
