Help! Surgery in 3 days..I have a cold!!

I'm scheduled for surgery on Monday and have started to come down with my husband's cold! He is on day 2 and feeling better. I know I can't take any medications to help. What are the chances that my surgery will be cancelled. It's just a case of a cough and being a little stuffy. Has anyone still had the surgery with a cold?

try to call your surgeon and see what they suggest.

zicam, Vitamin c, anything you can take would be great..

the surgery may need to be postponed, but you'd rather be healthy than sick (coughing/sneezing is not fun newly banded).

good luck

I would highly recommend calling the surgeon to see what you can take.

I normally take Zicam, Vitamin C and zinc when I get a cold which really knock out the cold quickly but you need to be sure they won't interfer with your surgery so call the surgeon.
