I don't have much advice except for lots of fluids-- the orange crystal light is high in Vitamin C without adding calories.

Try to relax, and take good care and get rest. I was terrified I would get my yearly 3-week bronchitis and I have not!!! It might just be a little sniffle so be positive and stay away from crowds. You are almost there! Best wishes.

Same thing happened to me. Drink Water. Take emergen-c. Search my earlier posts. I had a little cough going into surgery and it was brutal to have in recovery.

Zicam is also a good one if you can get it. Similar to emergen-c but is available in a spray. Me and my family find we respond to it well. Good luck Hun!

I had the same thing. Lots of Water and sudefed. Just no advil or asprin. My doctor told me as long as I have no fever or yellow/green mucus, surgery will go as planned.

Emergen-c. It'll nip it in the bud.

Emergent C is good stuff and always helps me BUT be cautious. Vit C can increase bleeding. Probably ok if you took one or 2 doses close to surgery but might want to check with MD office. Just like they want you to stop all NSAIDS 5 days before surgery. Although a few doses now might be fine. Good luck!

Hey there,

I had the same thing happen and actually had a high white blood cell count when I had my surgery. My suggestion is to SLEEP! and get a B-12 shot if possible. Stay away from all the sickies too! Good luck!

      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.
