RNY on 12/15/14

Hey- I just had my RNY done on monday, 12/15/2014. I am applying to go to school this coming spring semester, but before I can enroll I need to get a meningitis vaccine. Will this be any problem/does it affect my recovery in any way?

I work in a doctors office and generaly the only reason we would not give a vaccine is if you are running a fever. You should be fine. But, like Gwen said, check with your dr.

It should have the same effect it would have had if you didn't have WLS.
