I'm too young and not fat enough anymore. LOL. Shite! And my comorbidities have all resolved so I'm kinda SOL for a few months. Can't wait to get the shot. I'm on an "on call" list for getting a last minute dose if any appointments cancel and left overs need to get used up for the day. Can't wait for things to get closer to being back to normal:) Looking forward to a better year! Thanks to everyone getting the shot. Every dead for that nasty bug helps all of us.

You almost have to be connected or just get lucky to get the shot!

I meant so say "Every Dead END" Meaning....it can't spread when it hits vaccinated folks. I just read that and went....oh man that looks wrong. Hope ya'll followed what I meant instead of what I typed. Apparently, I couldn't type last night. LOL.

I am having my second vaccine shot 2 days before surgery. My doctor said this is completely fine, no problem.

I had plastic surgery in early January. My surgeon said not to get the vaccine 30 days before or after surgery. Reason being, a vaccine creates an immune response with possible inflammation which can impede healing. I’m a nurse at a large public health hospital and was able to talk to our doc heading up the COVID response team. He agreed this is best practice. I ended up getting my first vaccine just shy of 4 weeks post op and did just fine.

Oh. I got my second Moderna shot March 11. My surgery is April 6. Hmmm.

Forgot to say that I did not have any symptoms, other than the classic sore arm at injection site.

I already posted this under another topic but I told my dr that I had appt two weeks post op for my vaccine and he said that’s fine.

I received my 1st Covid 19 Moderna vaccine a few weeks before my Gastric Bypass Surgery, my 2nd shot was scheduled for the day before my gastric bypass surgery, so i asked my surgeon and it was a new question he never encountered yet. I told him I am not risking the horrible flu like side affects , because if i showed up and the hospital with a fever and flu like symptoms they would put my surgery on delay. So I cancelled my 2nd shot until a later date, weeks after post op. It was not worth the risk. I personal know people who could not get out of bed for a week after the 2nd Covid 19 shot.
