Ahhhh Choooo!

OH MAN! My RNY surgery is on the 16th and I am coming down with a bad cold! My throat is scratchy and raw, my chest is congested, and my ears are sore! I started taking Airborne yesterday and pushing major fluids, but I feel like crap! Did this happen to anyone else??

Oh i'm so sorry, i know exactley what you're going through. my surgery is tomorrow and i've been sick for a week. I felt great yesterday when i met with the surgeon, told him i had a cold but was feeling better, they did a chest xray to rule out pneomonia and said all should be fine. Today, i woke up feeling horrible. bad cough, i think it may be from the colon cleanse stuff though because i keep tasting it when i cough. i'm going to rest and load up on fluids the rest of the day and see where i'm at later today. i swear the all liquids and no viatamins or medicines did me in. I pray i don't have to have surgery cancelled this late in the game. get as much rest as you can, but if it's a virus all you can really do is wait it out. i'll be praying for you.

I'm so sorry! Tomorrow is my sugery and I've been really watching who and what I'm touching for the last couple of weeks, and washing extra-often! Normally, I'm not a germ-o-phobe at all...but I DID NOT want to get sick right before surgery. I'll be praying for you to get well soon...luckily you've got a bit before your surgery, you should be well by then! Heather

Hope you are feeling better. Just wanted to let you know I am having my RNY on the 16th as well. Let me know how you do! Good luck and I'll be praying for you. Tracey

Best of luck to you too! Thanks for the kind note! Christa
