Well, I had my Nutrition class yesterday (Aug 13th) and had all my pre-op done. Guess what, I started getting a bad headache and sore throat yesterday too. I wake up this morning and still have a sore throat but no headache. The N.P. at the surgeons office thinks that it is just my allergies and I sure hope she is right. If my throat isn't any better but this afternoon, I'm calling my family doctors office and making an appointment to make sure it is not anything other than my allergies.

Ha! OMG the same exact thing happened to me right before my surgery!! Have you been on a liquid pre-op diet?

If so what you are expierencing is more than likly KETOSIS (key toe sis). My Primary care had no idea what it was she thought I had mono and freaked me out. I even had white bumps on my tonsils like you would get being sick.

But after finding out I had nothing and some research it turns out my body was in major ketosis.

You will be fine! I had surgery on June 11th and its the best decision I have ever made in my 32 years!!!

Keep us posted!

You know, I keep reading about all these people being on a liquid diet before the surgery but my doctor didn't put me on why. Makes me wonder why he didn't. So, no, it isnt ketosis i think it is just my allergies.

The same thing happened to me. My surgery was scheduled for the Friday and I woke up Monday with sore throat and very congested sinuses. Since I had a bad experience with the whole pre certification period with my insurance and the coordinator from the doctor's office, I vowed nothing was going to stop me, not even a little cold. I made an appointment with my family doctor and he loaded me up with antibiotics and gave me 2 shots. Needless to say, I was good to go come the morning of my surgery. (July 25, 2008).

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
