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!

      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.

      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.
