Surgery is Tuesday now this?!



Recommended Posts

So I woke up this morning with a stuffy nose and slight headache almost like a head cold. Now I'm nervous my surgery will not happen. Drinking tea, using Vicks vaporub, and airborne every 3 hrs. Not sure if this is a cold or allergies but now I'm freaking out! If they cancel my surgery I'm screwed because my surgeon is booked out until July! :-(

What a bummer. Not much you can do but wait and see.

You can however, try to put a positive spin on it. Sneezing and coughing is not something you want 'after' surgery, soooo.....better now than after. :unsure:

Here's hoping it goes away quick.

I've read of others with the same issue and it did not delay surgery. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks everybody! Very true I don't want to cough and sneeze after surgery :o would be painful. I'm trying everything within the limits and trying to relax. I may have just worked myself up from the anxiety of the surgery.

oh no!!!! :o

sorry you are feeling lousy with a cold :(

nervous about having surgery cancelled!!!!

I'm "pretty" sure that i've read on this board......

as long as you don't have a fever they will go ahead with surgery

continue what you are doing

drink alot of tea et al

load up on Vitamin C

rest

as my good Jewish mom would say......

a little chicken Soup - what could it hurt???? ;)

you have til tuesday to nip this in the bud

call your doc monday

he needs to know whats going on

he might have other suggestions

hopefully can/will reassure you that surgery can/will go on as planned :)

fingers & toes crossed :)

good luck with surgery

speedy recovery

load up on zinc, it builds the immune system, and will help fight off anything that is just getting started. You can get it in couch drops, pills, and I believe a liquid as well.

      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.
