sleeve wed and I woke up sick!



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am scheduled to be sleeved on wed the 10th and woke up this morning with a slight sore throat. I am freaking out right now that I am going to really get sick and won't be able to have the surgery. I plan on calling first thing tomorrow they said to let them know about any high fever or cough but I don't want to chance anything!

Make sure you call . I know a few people who had to have their date change because they got sick!!!! Get yourself some medication and rest today

Allergy season just started. I've been taking Claritin every day to make sure my allergies don't turn into anything worse i.e. sinus infection. You can take plain Claritin. Not Claritin D. Feel better :)

Same thing happened to me two weeks ago. I was told as long I didn't have a fever or cough, they would go ahead with the surgery. It never did turn into anything serious. Because of being under anesthesia, it was important that my lungs were clear for breathing. Load up on Vitamin C and get as much rest as possible. Good luck!!

We share the same surgery day. I hope your sore throat turns out to be nothing and your surgery goes on as scheduled.

I'm scheduled for my EGD on the 10th and my sleeve on the 15th. I went for my chest x-ray and blood work Friday. I had lost my voice. I "spoke" to the anesthesiologist for a few mins. He didn't seem to notice or comment. Hopefully my chest x-ray will be clear and I can move forward. I'm going liquid only Tuesday in the hopes that all will move forward.

      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?
