    Can anyone relate - escalating pain pre-op?

    I have it impossible to sleep through the night for the last few weeks because of increasing pain in my left hip. Also, while I have been determined not to become one of the shoppers using the motorized carts at the grocery, I am no longer capable of making it through the entire store without at...

    Oh Nose!!!! My surgery is Tuesday, and I woke up with a cold

    Thank you for your reply, Josephine. You were absolutely right. I spiked a fever yesterday, made a trip to Urgent Care, and now am in a holding pattern for rescheduling. I will be rechecked at the end of my 10 course of Keflex. This was not how this was supposed to go....

    Oh Nose!!!! My surgery is Tuesday, and I woke up with a cold

    I was hoping it was just my seasonal allergies acting up, but no, this is definitely a cold with a productive cough. I don't have a fever, but I am worried that my surgery will be canceled. I will call the OS office first thing Monday, but meanwhile, is there anything I can do besides push...

    I know you will enjoy Alaska, I read that you'd been there before. Awesome, isn't it? Three trips in the last four years for us, I hope we can retire there someday, assuming I get this hip lined out (see, not off topic lol). Have a great trip and enjoy. I was pretty limited last summer and still...

    Obese and Feeling Defeated in LA, CA

    Hi, I'm so sorry you are going through this. I personally have battled obesity for the past 30+ years, and actually did have bariactric surgery long ago. The side effects from my Mason Shunt (early procedure) were horrible and I eventually had a take-down revision. I too have lost and regained...
