My surgery is next Friday and my allergies are really leaving me congested! (I really don't want to cancel surgery but if I have to I will)

I saw my PCP on Wednesday for congestion and he congratulated on my surgery being next week. He didn't see a problem after checking me over and gave me the all clear.

He was going to prescribe a nasal spray but I had one from over the counter that works really well.

I am having a pre-op physical on Tuesday so I will try not to worry too much.

On the plus side, I paid my surgical co-pay today! I asked the woman on the phone if I could still have the surgery if I only paid the surgical co-pay because I still have to pay the hospital room fee and she thought I was ridiculous! She said, "Of course you can still have surgery!"

She told me about the payment plans they offer at the hospital and said that I could call them after the procedure to set it up once they send a bill.

This is finally starting to become a reality. I can't wait!

What type of allergies? Sinusitis? It may be all the dairy from the Protein Shakes you could try some of the Protein waters and drink instead.

I'm actually not on any Protein shakes and I'm great with dairy.

When I went to see my pcp he flushed my ear because I had a small blockage which made hearing out of my left ear hard and everything else congested.

My ear is fine but now I have some really nasty phlegm build up.

@@BLERDgirl I actually meant to write I'm not great with dairy! I'm starting to feel a little better now, however. *Knocks on wood*

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
