Ok thanks ladies! I called the doctor and they recommended liquid Tylenol so I'm headed to the pharmacy now. I thought I was getting better but last night it go worst.

So I had my surgery on 8/19 and today I wake up with a cold. Can anyone tell me which medicines I am allowed to take? I'm congested, sore throat, migraine, coughing and sneezing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so the 2-4 weeks is pretty accurate. They also had to remove/repair a hernia as well; And I believe that's most of the discomfort that I'm feeling. Thanks everyone for responding. I feel a lil better now.

I just had my surgery on Monday and I'm in a lil pain but not much. I'm so bored at home and was wondering, how much time did you have to stay out of work?

I was banded on Monday and they found a hernia as well and my surgeon removed it with no issues. It won't prolong my recovery time or anything. It was a blessing in disguise because I only have to do it once. As far as your decision don't allow anyone to sway your choice. If banding is what you want then you stick to that. I wish you nothing but the best!!!

How much have you lost since the pre op diet? If its five pounds it more, you're good. At least that's what I was told when I was nervousness about it.

The gas is the worst part. Once that passed I've been good. I've been walking every two- three hours; Which helps a lot!

The procedure went well and while the were in there they removed a hernia that I didn't know I had. So I am very thankful!!!

Thank you so much!!!

Awe it's our surgery day ladies!!! We keep you both in my thoughts and prayers!!! Will let you know when I'm done & awake.

Ahhhhhh today is my big surgery day and I'm so excited. I worked very hard to get this far and I can't wait to see what I can do afterwards. I started at 273. I wonder what I will weight today. thanks to everyone for their encouraging words during my post op diet. #blessing

I get my surgery tomorrow as well. I have to be there by 8:30am. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. Best Wishes on your new journey!!!

I get banded tomorrow as well! So fair I've lost 15lbs as of Wednesday.

Aww thank you ladies. Tomorrow is the big day and I'm ready!!! I'm so ready. I just want to get this part over so I can start the new beginning. I hope the recovery time isn't too long though. Lol

Thanks Penny for some post op ideas. I'm so nervous about coming home after surgery because I don't want to mess up. I'm going to write down your great suggestions. Thanks again for sharing!
