I just woke yesterday with a cold and I fly out march 7 and get surgery the 8th. I'm hoping it'll be gone by then. Will they cancel the surgery? I already paid for the flight. I'm worried. Any suggestions?

As long as you don't have a fever you should be fine

I fly out tomorrow and posted similar to this tread yesterday. Take a bunch of Vitamin c stat! That seemed to clear mine right up! Tijuana here I come!

I think they only cancel for chest congestion. I could be wrong.

I woke up with cold symptoms as well. Starting taking some vitamins. Gonna take some every 3 hours hope it works. Im having surgery the same day

I had a cold about that number of days out. I emailedy dr and he told me to take Tylenol Flu. I was better before the surgery. I also took zinc stuff

Thanks!! Looking forward to meeting you

My surgery is two weeks from tomorrow with Dr. Garcia. Yesterday I also came down with a terrible cold. Fever, chills, headache, chest congestion. I'm hoping it clears up.

You poor guys! Take as much Vitamin c as you can, your body disposes of what it doesn't use. Also, I can't say enough about the power of onions and garlic on a cold. You know the chicken Soup thing is really about the onions and garlic in it! So if you are on your liquid pre op diet, just cut a bunch up, sauté until clear and cook to a mushy consistency in chicken broth, then put it in the blender if necessary.

I hope you all get well! Oh, and change your toothbrush, or sterilise it.
