Hi, I'm scheduled for GB on 12/5 and have a chest cold. Do you think, I can be rid of it by then and if not will surgery be canceled? I don't have a fever. Is there anything I can do to help things along? TIA!

Sorry you are sick. I have a very sore throat and have surgery schedule for 4 days from now. Hoping it doesn't turn into anything worse by then. The dr office told me if it's a cold without fever they will still most likely do the surgery but any sort of infection will postpone the surgery. I hope not, I can only image coughing with a tender and swollen abdomen. You still have almost 2 weeks so think you should be good to go by then. Good luck!!

Thank you. I'm sorry your sick as well.???? I pray things work out for you and you get better very soon. Congratulations and let me know how things go. Yes, I'm hoping that the two weeks will be enough and doesn't linger!
