So I somehow got upper respiratory infection or another words a bad cold last week and I can't seem to shake it off. My surgery is scheduled for August 10. Anyone ever experienced getting sick like this right before surgery?

I did. Same thing. Very bad cold. I thought for sure they would cancel my surgery. Three days before I called both the nurses in the hospital and the Bariatric practice. They said as long as I was not running a fever or had too much in my lungs they would do it. I passed the needed tests and had the surgery. I will say it mad recovery more difficult. Coughing was VERY painful. They did give me several breathing treatments in the hospital which helped. Good luck!

I'm coming to the end not much coughing but my sinuses and throat is still hurting some. Thanks for your story I was a little nervous
