Hello! I'm only 2 days away from being banded and I am going crazy with worry. I have sniffly sinuses which have caused me a slight sore throat from drainage at night. I know that it is from the A/C blasting at night and sleeping with my mouth open, but I'm still scared to death that I'm going to drive 7 hours to the doctor and be turned away for surgery.... after 2 weeks on a preop clear liquids diet. Will the surgeion operate if I have allgergies?:tongue2::smile:

I'm not sure about that. You could just ask a hypothetical question to the doc to see what are his rules. At least you're not like me...I'm allergic to clear tape that they use to cover IVs and things of that nature. How strange of an allergy is that! LOL

Just thought I would tell you that to make you smile. LOL I hope it worked. I know it does me. Don't stress out just ask your doc and see what happens. Worse case he may delay your surgery for a week.

I feel better a few hours after I wake up. I think I'll just wake up extra early the day of surgery and shower.

yeah I think you should be fine, I always feel crappy like that when I first wake up, just wake up some early :tongue2:

I am sure you'll be fine. I had a cold the day of my sugery and their response was .... were putting tubes to your lungs we dont need your sinuses lol

Make a quick call to your doc today and ask if they postpone surgery when their is sinus issues caused by allergies.

Just make sure you dont use allergy meds without asking them.

I had the same thing. All they checked was my temp and it was fine. If you feel like it could be anything more than allergies, I would ask my GP before going all the way to Mexico.

:tongue2: thank you all... I just feel like a nervous bride before her wedding! I should be thoroughly cleaning my house (MIL coming for the summer)before my surgery, but I can't stay off of the blogs and video journals about LB.

eazes: I to am allergic to tapes all kinds even the paper tapes..
