I'm excited about getting sleeved Thursday. But I woke up this morning with the sniffles, a sore throat, and fever of 100.1. Do you think they'll still sleeve me if I'm the same on Thursday?

Not sure about that. I am getting sleeved on Thursday also! Best Wishes

If you are sick I am pretty sure they will not operate. Especially if you are running a fever. Lets hope you get better soon!

If they cancel my surgery, I really don't think I can afford to go through all these tests again. Or put my poor hubby through this emotional rollercoster.

Load up on Zinc, airborune and Zicam rest and push fluids. If it is on its way out they will probably still do it.

Remember, no aspirin or ibuprofen a week before surgery. Feel better.

I doubt they would make you repeat anything. It is for your own safety not operating while you are sick.

Airborne, all that stuff- load it up! Push the fluids.

I was worried about it too since I had extremely high blood pressure and cold symptoms but I did take loss of vitamin c and cold meds before and was still permitted after the last checks with cardiologist, anesthesiologist, and doctor. I would say tell them the truth and depending on your tests that day you still have a chance to have it. They will say no if they feel you will be at risk during or after more than you already are now. I had everything you had but the sore throat and I did great. The worst part is the coughing after. Hopefully you will jge near the end of a simple cold by then and nothing more serious. But remember whatever the doc decides is best and he may reschedule in a week so that won't be too bad. Good luck

Fever's gone. I just want an answer from my surgeon today, because some of my family is driving 8 hours to be with me after. I guess I'll call back.
