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!

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.

      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.
