raindrop :unsure:

sorry you aren't feeling well :(

January 17th is more than 2 weeks away

hopefully you will be fine :)

there have been many other posts with people having a cold prior to/or the day of the WLS

I "think" as long as you don't have a fever they can/will proceed with surgery

feel better

good luck :)

I got an ear and sinus infection prior to my original surgery date. Was miserable and went multiple times to urgent care. I was feeling much better the day of my last office visit before surgery. I pulled out my meds and told them I had a few to add to my chart. When I got to prednisone, the nurse went silent. She knew that I had a hell of time getting to this point and didn't want to be the bearer of bad new. You cannot be on prednisone and head into surgery. Apparently, it suppresses your immune system. So, I ended up finishing my prednisone and beginning a three week regimen of high doses of Vitamin A. Surgery was scheduled for just over three weeks later. :-(

The moral of the story is if you need to see a doctor - AVOID, if you can, letting them put you on prednisone.

Hope you get to feeling better!

I hope you are better now. I was paranoid about getting sick, I work in the medical field with patients and have 2 boys ages 12 and 15 so they bring home tons of germs. Purell was my friend and my hands got so cracked from it lol Hope all goes well for you! :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
