OMG I have a Runny Nose



Recommended Posts

My surgery is Monday and my nose is running. I also have an occasional cough due to my sinuses draining. I did have a sinus infection and took a Z-pac to clear it up. Will they postpone my surgery due to a runny nose? I hope not because my mother fly in on saturday:scared2:

Do you have a fever? If not, I wouldn't worry too much. But that being said...I am a world class worry wart! :sad:

Good luck. My surgery is for 12/9. I will say a prayer for you!

Thank you. I shall return the prayer. My nose has actually stopped running which is a great relief. So I am ready to go!!:wink2:

OK here is my five cents about a runny nose or any other cold like symptom. I had a cold the day of my surgery...so I used eye drops, cough drops, nose spray and made a wish. I seemed to hide it well enough as I had the surgery as planned, however recovery was harder. The cold turned into streap throat and broncitus and I am still on antibiotics, coughing your lungs out post surgery is SUPER bad and for the throat, well I just ate lots of popsicles. Now that its over i can say that if I could have postponed surgery for just one week I would have done it. My problem was that if I would have told them, they would have postponed it but the next surgery date could have been a month later....so since I had already had my share of delays I chose to do what I did......just be warned....it could be a lot harder recovery.

      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!
