Surgery in 2 days and i have a scratchy throat!



Recommended Posts

Its just my luck, that i am coming down with a cold and my surgery is in less than 48 hours. I am doing the liquid diet and i am having a hard time. Last night i finished off the remainders of a bag of potato chips. I feel like such a failure. I cant wait till after the surgery, when i wont feel so hungry any more.

I hope my surgeon does not cancel my surgery due to the cold.

I think as long as you arent running a fever then you should be fine.

Gargle with warm salt Water a several times a day for the next couple of days...should help, but I don't think it should be a problem as far as the surgery goes.

Good luck!:party:

You could have that feeling because your body is detoxing...i know that every time i start a new diet my body does that... just drink lots of Water and hang in there...

I had a cough (the remnants of a sinus infection) at my pre-op a week before the surgery and the anethesiologist told me it would be better to push it back a week. She said you want to go into surgery in your best shape possible.... I completely freaked out and went to my PCP and he was like, your lungs are clear....PROCEED. I had my surgery as scheduled - the only down side for me was that I still had a little cough after which was not exactly fun with the incisions - but it turned out fine. I don't think a scratchy throat affects anethesia at all - but just rest and take care of yourself. It will all work out beautifully!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
