I went in for my lap band surgery on March 25 and was put under. My oxygen levels fell and the anesthesiologist had to wake me up. No surgery :-(. I had a upper respiratory infection the week before, and even though I was well my lungs were still not recovered.

I rescheduled for April 22. I live in Southeast Texas and my allergies are horrible year-round. Two weeks pre op this time and I have a very mild sinus issue going on. My GP says I should be fine as my lungs are clear and I'll be done with a 10 day course of antibiotics next week. However, I'm still terrified that it will happen again.

Anyone else had this happen?

Not his time, but I have problems with Anesthesia and have to advise the surgical staff of that before they put me under. Best wishes, maybe since they know now, it will be okay!

Good luck to you for the 22nd -- it sounds like you have an excellent medical team and you're in good hands. Allergy season has not arrived yet where I live but I don't look forward to that, trying to keep every one healthy. We increase C and zinc for sinus plus avoid dairy, drink lots of extra water, ginger tea, etc. I can't use them now since my surgery because of the carbonation, but those EmerGen-C packets are pretty amazing. Got to stop the post-nasal drip.
