Question???

I am scheduled for RNY surgery Tuesday morning.  I now have a stomach virus.  Will I have to reschedule my surgery?  Just wondering if any of you had this before your surgery.  Does anyone know of a quick cure for the "bug"?

If you're having severe diarrhea and vomiting then yes they will want to reschedule.  Try lomotil for the diarrhea and gatorade to prevent dehydration.

No vomitting, thank goodness.  Just diarreaha.  It is not severe.  I just feel tired and stressed.  Could be due to the fact that my mother had a stroke last week and I have been traveling an hour each way to visit with her everyday.  If you are reading this please pray for her recovery.  It will be a long process as she has suffered some paralysis on her left side and her speech was also effected.  I know God never gives us more than we can handle but I don't know if I could handle a postponement of my surgery because I have been so anxious about it lately.

 Prayers being said for your Mom and for you too.   I am wondering if stress could have brought on the diarreaha??  just a thought.   Prayers that you will feel better tomorrow and everything will go as planned on tuesday AM.   Welcome to the TMB and the loosers bench !!!

If it's just diarrhea and you're not dehydrated then I bet everything will be fine.  No need to postpone the surgery.  Sorry for the stress you're under. prayers being said.

Thank you Vivian and Stphanie for the encouragement and prayers.  I am starting to feel better now.  Please keep my mom and family in your prayers.  I am so happy to find such wonderful supportive people on this site.  Can't wait til the surgery is over though!!
Thanks,
Susan

Sorry about your Mom - I wil keep you both in my prayers. 

I agree if you aren't dehydrated you will be fine.  Heck you gotta get cleaned out the night before surgery anyway - you are just getting a head start!    Good luck with your surgery and congatulations.
