sorry you aren't feeling well

January 17th is more than 2 weeks away

hopefully you will be fine

there have been many other posts with people having a cold prior to/or the day of the WLS

I "think" as long as you don't have a fever they can/will proceed with surgery

feel better

good luck

speedy recovery

Thank you

I had a wretched cold the day of surgery. I was fine and you will be, too.

Can you or do you use a sinus flush?

You'll be okay. Pamper pamper pamper and get rid of that cold!

I got an ear and sinus infection prior to my original surgery date. Was miserable and went multiple times to urgent care. I was feeling much better the day of my last office visit before surgery. I pulled out my meds and told them I had a few to add to my chart. When I got to prednisone, the nurse went silent. She knew that I had a hell of time getting to this point and didn't want to be the bearer of bad new. You cannot be on prednisone and head into surgery. Apparently, it suppresses your immune system. So, I ended up finishing my prednisone and beginning a three week regimen of high doses of Vitamin A. Surgery was scheduled for just over three weeks later. :-(

The moral of the story is if you need to see a doctor - AVOID, if you can, letting them put you on prednisone.

Hope you get to feeling better!

Thanks everyone! Hopefully it will clear up soon... Lots of vitamins and rest

_{I hope you are better now. I was paranoid about getting sick, I work in the medical field with patients and have 2 boys ages 12 and 15 so they bring home tons of germs. Purell was my friend and my hands got so cracked from it lol Hope all goes well for you!}
