Did Anyone Else Have A Cough Going Into Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I know I've posted this a few times, but I'm still sort of nervous....I'm scared they'll cancel my surgery on Monday.

I still feel a tickle in my lungs, but it's not productive. I just have an occasional cough.

Anyone else have surgery with a cough? Or anyone out there with asthma? I don't have asthma, but imagine that they would need to treat me the same way prior to the procedure....

I hope they don't postpone your surgery, it was hard enough to wait this long. I think i'd die if they postponed mine. well, now for some encouragement i think if it's just a dry cough you'll be alright. Make sure the cough medi! You want to get anything that's in there out... good luck my surgery is the 28th in Tijuana as well. I leave out monday...

i tried to say above that make sure your cough med is an expectorant not a suppressant... hit the return key....

I just talked to the doctor's office....they said they could give me a nebulizer or something along those lines and then see if it helps. They didn't make it sound like it was a deal-breaker (whew!).

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
