OMG - we really are sleeve buddies. I have a thread in another forum about the same thing. My surgery is also on Monday. Felt it coming on Wednesday and was definitely sick come Thursday. I'm waiting to hear from my case manager.

So, yes. I definitely feel like that! (Crossing my fingers for you.)

I'm trying to make myself feel better by telling myself I might have trouble getting down all the regular fluids plus the extra you should drink when you're sick. Not much, but anything to shore myself up should the news not be good.

Cold Eeze or zinc supplements have always cut a cold short for me.

I had the same problem, thought I was coming down with something about 4 days prior to my surgery. I dosed down on Emergence C and Vitamin C....I was fine so hopefully things are going to be fine for you as well - I can tell you that sneezing and coughing is VERY unpleasant right after surgery.

Definitely rest and get lots of fluid! I'd be careful taking any supplements or medicine. I was told at my pre-op meeting that the anesthesiologist wants us off everything for a week before surgery. My hospital/staff might just be ultra-conservative, but I wanted to pass this information along. Good Luck!

Me three! Surgery Monday morning and woke up w/a sore throat yesterday. Been gargling w/salt Water, taking Vitamin C, Emergen-C. Feel a little snifflely and sneezing. Maybe it's allergies? I need to rest and get liquids. Everything is set and I don't want to cancel or be cancelled!

Same thing happened to me 3 days before surgery -- see your PCP for a blood test to make sure you don't have an infection. If it's just a cold, take the extra strength Tylenol Cold and Flu. I felt 80% better the next day and 100% on day of surgery! I would also let your surgeon know ahead of time to see if he/she has any recommendations, especially if you have a fever.

      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.

      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.
