I woke up yesterday with stufy nose, sore throat and chest congestion. This is usally follwed by a cough in a few days. My sugery is in 7 days. I just read someone else sugery was postponed until may b/c of sick with cough. I am frantick!!!

Any suggestion on what I can do now or something I can take now to help from this turning into full blown cold. I really don't want surgery postponed.

Hopefully you have recovered from your illness. If not, you may be required to postpone the surgery. My doctor went through my current condition very closely before agreeing for us to proceed to the OR. My legs were swollen and he was cautious but I told him they are always like that because of my weight.

My banding went well and I am home and resting today.

I was feeling pretty bad the night before surgery. I had a few coughs and sneezes. I really thought I was going to have to postpone, but I had lots of people praying for me and I hoped for the best. I woke up Thursday morning and symptoms were almost completly gone. Surgery went great!!

I am glad yours went well too.:thumbup:
