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*

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
