Feeling Sick-May have to reschedule



Recommended Posts

I woke up yesterday with little cough and today, I have a sore throat a cough and dry heaves :w00t:( YUK :huh2:

My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday...

I guess I will have to postpone my journey- but I believe Everything happens for a reason...

Hopefully tomorrow I'll wake up good as new and we won't have to worry!

Yes, I have HIGH HOPES!

If you are running a fever, i'm am sure it will be postponed, however, I don't believe that things happen for a reason. You simple got sick. Keep the lap band in mind. Don't ever give up, you will not regret it.

I have to say I totally believe things happen for a reason ..Just maybe though you will be fine and dandy by Wednesday ... Not to stress take it one day at a time.

Don't worry- I'm not giving up... I just figure I'm not supposed to have the surgery this week... I guess I didn't realized I was getting sick and some higher power made it happen before the surgery to avoid additional pain... The cough is rough and deep. It will be very painful to have sutures and a cough!

If I have to wait another couple of weeks, so be it. There are worse things in life than having to be patient!

I'll call tomorrow to check in the surgeon and see what they have to say. No fever thank God! I took some tylenol earlier, but I can't get rid of this heaviness in my chess. :lol:

Yesterday I woke up with a mild sore throat, and it's still sore today and my voice sounds deep. No congestion, fever or anything else though. I'm hoping it's just sinus drainage, so I'm not re-scheduling. My surgery is this Wednesday.

I agree, sometimes it's just better to post-pone. It helps in the long run for the body to heal.

God Bless and good luck on your decision!!

Dbowers- just be careful and let your surgeon know what's going on. You don't want to wind up with a cough when you have a bunch of sutures on your body- That would just hurt way too much!!! Best of luck to you- keep us posted! :rolleyes:

And GrosseFemme- You have the Best Surgery Date EVER!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
