First time sick since WLS

  • K, need to whine a little. This is the first time I have gotten sick since surgery and I feel like it is kicking my butt. I started with a sore throat and sinus drainage and it moved into a full cold almost a week later. Of course after I already saw both docs for my 3 month check up! I even called off work today and stayed in my hotel room and slept all day. After I went out and got some more dayquil and nightquil. I know they have surger in them but my system is tolerating it all okay.

    Does anyone else find it harder to beat a cold or illness since WLS? I know they just did my blood work and all was well with in normal, so maybe its just a nasty bug! Which is tring to move into my chest !!

    Thanks for listening
  • Oh No!
    I'm sorry your are sick, but honestly, I have hardly had any illness since I have had WLS. There is some kind of flu thing going around, because my nephew and a few kids his age have had high fevers and a cough. My little granddaughter started with a temp this morning of 100 and now it is around 103. So, SIGH, I'm not going to be able to take her for a few days as planned. DARN IT!!! Her dad is sick and they seem to think they got it from the pool on Sunday; he is hoarse and sinus trouble. Talked with a woman at Walmart today with the cutiest 6 mos old baby and they took the baby to the doctor for fever and cold like symptoms. So something is really going around!! Hope you get well soon. I order a shot of whiskey and ASA. But, I think you might have gotten that with the Ny-quil!!! Take care my girl. Love ya.
  • I had the FLU just a few weeks after sugery! That was the weirdest flu I have ever had. I don't know if it was because I was only weeks out or because that is the way I will have the flu from now on...in anycase it was caca!

    I'm sorry you were feeling poorly, honey.

  • They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.......they didn't say stronger what. LOL!!! I'm glad you are doing better. Little granddaughter is still sick as a dog!!!
  • Glad your doing better I remember as a kid, nyquil being the miracle drug LOL My mom always had a bottle by her night stand...but with 7 of us kids, no wonder LOLOL

  • Summer Flu?
    Little GD was finally taken to urgent care and had bilateral ear infections and viral pink eye. I guess she is pretty miserable but on the mend. Mistymed, hope you little angel is doing better. This is why I could never work on the pediatric ward, I hate it when little kids are sick.
