Cold Medicine - Wouldn't you know it, finally feel better from surgery, now I have a bad cold



Recommended Posts

So, I finally feel a lot better from surgery, feeling great as a matter of fact then wham super bad head cold that knocks me on my tail. I normally take Nyquil for colds, should that be an issue once you are sleeved? Any suggestions?

I caught a cold/sinus infection 3.5 weeks out. I was able to take tylenol cold/tylenol allergy caplets (spelling?). They went down fine, just drank it with a bit of water/fluids. Doc said as long as its about m&m size it should be fine.

I got a sinus infection 2 weeks after surgery. I was taking Mucinex D (behind the counter with the pharmacist) and using a neti pot with distilled Water and salt to help with the congestion right after a shower, followed by afrin spray. I helped so much and I'm almost back to normal now.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
