hope it's not a cold



Recommended Posts

I am less than a week away. My whole family has had this terrable cold but me. I think I feel it coming on. Any suggestions on how to knock it out now. Just runny nose and little chest congestion right now

I got a cold right before surgery. And my doctor said they still can do it as long as you don’t have a fever or other symptoms. I took zicam and airborne religiously before surgery and it really did help. Good luck!

Dayquil and Nyquil maybe. Perhaps Theraflu. I love that stuff. You can just mix one of those packets in with Decaf tea.

There's an off brand that works just like Dayquil but I don't remember the name. They come in gel caps, though. Two for every dose. I think the brand is called Top Care or something. I currently have a cold, my first one since surgery. It went from being a sore throat to what it is now.

Hope you feel better 🙂

It is better. I have been taking Mucinex and Tylenol cold and flu. Now I just feel so dry. I think from having the heat up higher. -20 wind chill here today. I got a victim vaporizer going.

Glad to hear! Make sure you get some zicam and airborne. It cuts the cold in half!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
