You've got a whole week to get over that nasty cold. I hope you feel better sooner than later.. I understand why you are worried, but just concentrate on getting well. Totally pamper yourself, stay in bed, drink fluids etc. Hopefully this will get rid of your cold sooner than later.

On the other hand, if you are sick, they might have to postpone surgery for a bit - but don't worry, really. You'll be better, i'm sure of it.

Take care

If its bad enough they might. However, flush that cold out with Vitamin C, fluids, and rest and u should be ok in a week...

More info, I'm in Tampa for a week for my sons wedding and will be heading to San Diego on Tuesday. I tell you this, it is vary hard for me to keep this a secret. I'm thinking of telling my wife on Sunday after the wedding. I don't know.

Cold might postpone, it depends. Fever is what you need to watch out for. If you're allowed any supplements (some ppl have to cut off everything about 2 weeks pre-op) try zinc or Zicam. Especially if you have a sore throat (just suck on the pill). I swear by it.

You're scheduled for VSG and your wife doesn't know? You're not going to try and keep it a secret afterward, are you? (I can't imagine it would be possible to do).

No, she will know afterwards. look at my old posts, you see why

It's all good, I was just (hoping?) you understood that this wouldn't be an easily hideable procedure.
