Good Luck on your Surgery tomorrow. I pray you don't get rescheduled....I know how sucky that would be. :wink_smile: Did you ask your surgeon or nurse if you could take OTC drugs for your cold?

I hoping someone knows if it is okay to take Tylenol Cold, Halls and possibly a antibiotic pre-op? I just started my liquid diet and I am 2 wks pre-op. Has anyone been rescheduled because of a cold? Thanks for the help!

Hi All, My surgery date is 4/17 and I can't wait. I've been spending a lot of time looking through threads to see what kind of side effects I might expect after my surgery. Beside the whole eating life style change, I've noticed that Hairloss is a good possiblity. Then there is the Heartburn. In one of my support group meeting it was suggested that you may want to take heartburn drugs (Prilosec) for the first year. Is this good advice? :confused2: Wondering what other side effects are out there?

Congrats to all of you with April Dates. My Surgery date is 4-17 and I can't wait. I have a long road ahead of me and my engine is finally running. I am having surgery at the Hurley Hospital in Flint, MI. My surgeon is Dr. J. Farhan. I have to start my liquid diet on the 3rd...yum...yum....and then for two weeks after.
