Oh no, this really sucks! I know MRSA seems to be all over the place now. I have 4 friends that have had MRSA in the past three months. I'm glad they did find that you have it so that you can treat it. Once everything gets resolved, I hops your surgery goes well. What about MLK weekend in January?

From my understanding most people are actually carriers of MRSA; it just becomes a problem when it enters an open wound or a mucus membrane. That does suck, but you DEFINATELY don't want to have surgery and end up infected from that.

That does suck. I hope you get a new date soon. I definately understand when you have been doing the liquid diet. It sometimes feels like you are on an emotional rollercoaster. Hopefully you will get to be off the rollercoaster soon.

MRSA can be fatal. If not to you, then to the staff at the hospital. Regardless of how frustrated you may be, keep in mind delaying your surgery could very easily save your life.

Hang in there.

Oh boy.... I go tomorrow for my pre-op testing... I wasn't nervous, till I read this! I had a stomach flu durring the two week liquid diet and when I got finished with that, I caught a cold... do you know if that will automatically be a NO during the pre-op testing?

I have a cold now, and have since thursday. I'm supposed to get mine tomorrow. My doctor didn't seem to care.. Idk! The anesthesiologist seemed a little worried though. I'm worried can you go under with a cold?

Think of the complications you will be avoiding instead. MRSA is a nasty little bug that would've been quite happy to nestle up in you incisions and cause you terrible pain, it could've infected your band as well and then were would you be?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
