Two months out - woke up with a cought/sneezing/runny nose full blown cold - plan on calling the DR's office sometime today to seek what I can/cannot take..........but thought I would check here to see if anyone has any ideas or suggestions.

I always took Zycam to try to reduce the length (it worked) but don't know if this is ok at this point.

I don't have anything productive to say lol... However I did make the comment yesterday that I was going to carry a can of Lysol around with me yesterday because it seems to be going around real good right now an I'm only 2 weeks out and almost had to postpone my surgery because I got REAL sick the week before surgery!

I really hope you get feeling better soon :-)

I got a sore throat last Thursday and took Zicam for a day. My stomach didin't like it too much. I had the sore throat for a week, had went to my PCP and he prescribed some cough Syrup. Yesterday, I started loosing my voice. Today, I don't know if I will be loosing my voice, I really haven't talked to anyone but the cats and dogs. LOL Hope your cold goes away really soon, I'm so afraid I will have a bad cough and pop my stapleline. ;)

I am a year out and I am also sick...My surgeon said I can take anything that is not an ansaid. I choose not to take anything except tylenol when my throat hurts so bad or I have a headache. Pre surgery I took 3 extra strength at a time. Now 1 does the trick nicely!

      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.
