Was sleeved the 23rd. I have been coughing up alot of stuff since ingot home Friday. The doctor put me on an antibiotic today but I am still a little worried. My temp is 99.5. This coupled with the fact I have a hurricane heading right at me is stressing me out. Anyone else have respiratory iss use after surgery?

I, didn't have any respiratory problems. Make sure u are getting your fluids in, take the antibiotics on schedule, and check your temperature @ least in the morning and evening. Hope you feel better!

Deep breathe and cough at least twice an hour to prevent pneumonia ( more ommon after general anesthesia). Fluids, antibiotics. Call agin if ou are worse or fever gets worse.

My fever is gone. My chest is sore from the congestion and coughing. I am sipping on warm liquids. It is helping my airway. I have asthma as well and this has always helped. My follow up was tomorrow but canceled due to the hurricane. I will try to get in as soon as I can after the dust settles. Thank you for checking on me.

Yes I coughed up a lot of stuff when I first came home and lasted for a few days...I felt like I had pneumonia coming on....I used the spiometer they gave me in hospital that helped and did the breathing excersies everyday, couple times a day. I also had slight fever at 99.5 when I oversteessed about work and over did it at home. Remember to take it easy and treat yourself kindly :). Hope you feel better soon.

I am trying to lay around and relax. I will let you know when I get to the doctor hopefully this week.

If you are laying around and relaxing try to sit up and not lie all the way down also if you can sleep propped up that will help also.

And the couching with deep breathing will help a lot too.

Fever gone and cough almost gone. I have lost 10lbs this week and now I have gout... been taking apple cider vinegar pills and cherry juice and about 50- 60 oz of Water a day and still I have a huge right foot. If that would go away I would be great.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
