OMG I have a Runny Nose



Recommended Posts

My surgery is Monday and my nose is running. I also have an occasional cough due to my sinuses draining. I did have a sinus infection and took a Z-pac to clear it up. Will they postpone my surgery due to a runny nose? I hope not because my mother fly in on saturday:scared2:

Do you have a fever? If not, I wouldn't worry too much. But that being said...I am a world class worry wart! :sad:

Good luck. My surgery is for 12/9. I will say a prayer for you!

Thank you. I shall return the prayer. My nose has actually stopped running which is a great relief. So I am ready to go!!:wink2:

OK here is my five cents about a runny nose or any other cold like symptom. I had a cold the day of my surgery...so I used eye drops, cough drops, nose spray and made a wish. I seemed to hide it well enough as I had the surgery as planned, however recovery was harder. The cold turned into streap throat and broncitus and I am still on antibiotics, coughing your lungs out post surgery is SUPER bad and for the throat, well I just ate lots of popsicles. Now that its over i can say that if I could have postponed surgery for just one week I would have done it. My problem was that if I would have told them, they would have postponed it but the next surgery date could have been a month later....so since I had already had my share of delays I chose to do what I did......just be warned....it could be a lot harder recovery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
