I have had a horrible cold for 4 days now. I can't breathe, and my sneezing and coughing is not helping my belly button heal (it is my only incision still sore @ 16 days post op)..anyway I went to the pharmacy and they told me to take sudifed after explaining that I just had my sleeve done.

On a side note, I was both slightly angry and happy that while bent down looking at Calcium supplements they were talking about me being "too small for "gastric bypass" and how I am lucky a cold is all I have. I stood up and they both appologized, and I just walked away.

Anyway, has anyone else dealt with a horrible head cold soon after surgery?

I'm sorry that you're feeling bad I take it that you had the spider surgery done?

No, I did not have the spider. It wants to heal, but it can't!
