I am supposed to be banded this Friday the 3nd. I woke up this morning with a mild sore throat and a bit achey. I started slamming Emergen-C packs, echinacea and zinc. I am no longer allowed to have any medicines so I can't combat with that.

I am SO worried. What if I get sick, will they postpone surgery????

I just had my EKG and labs on Friday and got the clear from my PCP to go ahead with surgery. Now I am so worried there will be a hiccup.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words of encouragement!

I called the Dr today and a Z-Pack was called in (Zithromax). I actually felt better and as I am typing this, I feel much better. I am REALLY hoping by Thursday all the funk is gone and I am on my way into surgery on Friday morning!!

Please keep sending me your good vibes - I really need them!!

The zithromax helped! I received the green light and will be banded tomorrow morning!!!! Please send out the positive vibes and prayers tomorrow morning

Congrats! You will be sore, but you won't be sorry! I was banded Monday, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I know i was trolling the boards the night before surgery bc I was excited. Now I'm on at night again cause I slept a lot today...its gonna be all you wanna do for a while!

So how are you doing? Is It different than you expected? Good luck and hope your doing good!
