February 2014 bandsters?

That's my biggest worry is that my lungs are so full of junk and it's hard for me to get a deep breath as it is now that after the surgery I am thinking I would be more likely to get pneumonia. I have no idea what to do.

Your ZPak is 5 days right? So you should be done tomorrow? If you don't feel better on Wednesday, I would consider rescheduling....but make sure there are no penalties/issues if you reschedule too close to your surgery day...good luck and let us know what you decided!

I would definitely talk to your Dr. I met with my anesthologist last week (two weeks before surgery) and he said that if I got sick within these two weeks it would be better to postpone my surgery.

I just spoke with the nurse and she made it seem like the anesthesiologist would come and see me on Friday before surgery and listen to my lungs and do another chest X-ray if necessary. So far, she thinks the surgery can go on as planned. Still makes me nervous though.

Hey everybody. Well......I've joined the "band" or should I care the band joined me,. Lol!! I'm doing okay except for this gas.. HORRIBLE!!! I'm trying to drink Water. Seriously dehydrated. I almost passed out. Not cool....

Glad to hear surgery went well. I had to stay overnight at the hospital and when they brought me each meal I had tea, cranberry juice, apple juice, Popsicles, and always had 2 things of Jello on my tray. The nurses made sure I was tasting everything and made sure I was drinking all the time. We don't want you passing out so drink drink drink lol
