They cancel surgery and treat you based on your severity. You need two subsequent negative Covid tests to proceed. I take zinc 50 mg , Vitamin C 500 Mg and vit d 10000 iU every day to increase immunity.

My surgeon said that if I tested positive I would still have surgery, but the entire surgical team would be wearing those big bulky suits with the hoods and hoses, and that after surgery I would be in an isolation room. Fortunately I tested negative.

That is madness that they would go ahead with the surgery. I can't even fathom.

      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.
