Two years ago I had a long overdue breast reduction that has made my life significantly improved. I have been very happy with that and didn’t think I would be back on this forum. However, I have a lipoma tumor that I have to have removed from my chest, so I thought I would go ahead and get the abdominoplasty as well. I am now two weeks away from my surgery which is scheduled for December 6. This forum helps me two year ago and has already helped me wit this upcoming one. I’ll post pics soon.

Fighting a Cold Before Surgery

User Avatar

Hey peeps! Are any of you who are having surgery within the next few days experiencing any cold/flu symptoms? I’m having mine in 4 days and am on an emtional roller coaster right now but still excited to hopefully have the tummy I had before having kids which was a mighty long time ago. But, right now I’m fighting off a cold...great timing. I was told that if I’m sick before the surgery, they will not perform the procedure. I think/hope/pray that this stuff is on its way out of my system and by Wednesday I’ll be good to rock and roll.
I’m hoping to be chatting with you all a lot during the next few days and weeks. I’ll be sure and post pictures when I can. I would really love to be able to enjoy Christmas Day with my family but not certain I will healed enough by then. That will be 2 days shy of three weeks post op.

Oh no! Sorry you're sick. I'll cross my fingers that it's a cold and over by Wed. Stock up on vitamin C! In terms of Xmas, I bet you'll be feeling well enough by then. I was surprised that I felt normal enough 10 days post op to go to a "Friendsgiving" gathering and by 3 weeks post op, am mostly doing a normal schedule (I'm 3weeks 2days now). You'll be able to enjoy it!

I cannot stand to see myself naked much less want to post a pic for everyone to see, but I do want to be able to have a comparison after my surgery to remind myself why I did this!!
