Good luck all!Mine is Friday, as long as I am feeling up to it... I find out tomorrow whether I have a bacterial or a viral infection. I'm thinking it might be best to postpone the surgery, but I'm afraid that if I do, I will end up never having it done. nonod.gifbored.gif. Wish me luck that I am feeling better in time to have the surgery!

Good luck!!! I too had a cold, sneezing and deep cough last week. Surgery was the 3rd so thought I'd have to postpone. Instead the Dr postponed and now surgery is the 10th like yours. Now cold had time to wain. Hope you get better in time and I agree, coughing and sneezing won't be fun after surgery! Don't forget the PILLOW!!!

Thanks jacquelyn49! I talked with my surgeon's nurse, and she said that the doctor said as long as it is just a cold, or a virus, that I can still have the surgery. I'm doing what was suggested and loading up on the Emergen-C and resting. I called and they didn't know yet whether it is bacterial or viral. I'm pretty sure it is viral. Seems like a run of the mill cold to me, but I'm no doctor lol. I won't forget the pillow, hehe. I'm getting excited! I'm sure you are too :)

I am still a February Bandster but my surgery date has been changed to the 22th. I was a little upset at first but now I am O.K. I was taking a medication that the nurse and the doctor failed to tell me to stop taking. The hospital caught it and said stop taking it. So instead of the 14th it will be the 22nd.001_huh.gif

I went to my first lapband support group held by True Results. It was very helpful made me feel more confident about my choice to get this done and get started on a new me :). The people were great I love my patient advocate Taylor, she's had the band herself for a few years now and can relate to us. The group is generally meant for post surgery clients but I highly recommend going to one pre-surgery, the q&a, real stories of success and hard times, even a males perspective, made it so real.

I am scheduled to be banded on 2/24...unless my asthma is still not controlled.

I have had so many delays already...crossing fingers and eyes, and saying prayers that the surgery will happen on 2/24!

Good luck to everyone...and please continue to share your experiences!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
