I think I am screwed (a cold)



Recommended Posts

Surgery on Wednesday. Daughter is sick ear infection, son is getting sick and I feel like I am heading down that road. I really don't want to postpone this. I have done 2 weeks of liquids and really don't want to do 2 more prior to surgery + he is typically booked out about 3 months out and if I don't get it done within the next month I have to start all over. Anyone out there have surgery with a cold? Hopefully I can hold out 2 more days.

My doc postponed mine for a few days after I had been on a 21 day liquid diet cuz of a cold.I was so upset.I did not want to drink those shakes anymore but I did . Anyway I went in to surgery feeling fine just a phlemy couph in the morning well he said we should have waited a couple more days cuz i started couphing really bad when I was put under.It sucks to wait but if you do have a cold at the time of surgery you better tell the doc just to be safe...Good luck hope youll be OK

Greg, you really need to go ahead and call your doctor and tell him what is going on. I understand how upsetting it will be if you have to postpone, but it is better safe than sorry.

      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.

      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!
