my surgury date got moved forward to the 25th so im hella juiced but im getting more and more antsy by the day .... not because of the surgery but because sat i got the flu. no im done with the fever and i feel 100 time better but i still have a really slight cough mostly from post nasal drip and a runny nose.... will this jeopardize my surgery??

Glad you're feeling better and sorry that you got sick! That stinks!

I have NO idea if it will hurt surgery or not. I'd be more concerned about the coughing though after surgery. Can you take a little something that has no aspirin in it to help? Might need to call your surgeon's office and ask them what they think. I have heard about others getting sick right before surgery but I haven't heard of any of them getting canceled.

I also wanted to say welcome to the 25th!! There are several of us getting banded on the 25th! If you want, check out the August '08 threads. I'm so excited!! I know this weekend I'll probably be flipping out but not right now! I have to be at the hospital by 6:30AM, we have to leave the house by 5 b/c it's an hour away AND they're doing roadwork during the night on the highway, so that means I need to be up no later than 4AM! UGH!! Don't know that I'll be sleeping much anyway! :thumbup:

Take care and rest as much as you can to let yourself get better.

PS> Oh wait! I just remembered! My mom had PS done in March and she was seriously ill the 2 weeks before surgery AND had to work b/c she was going to be gone for so long afterwards. They didn't cancel her BUT her recovery was longer b/c her system was so low at the time of surgery. You sound like you're doing much better than she was though.

Thanks... man...

yeah for a while there i was stressin about the surgery then the funk hit the fan at work... on top of that i literally met to woman of my dreams:wub: and lost her:confused2:... so i was more than happy when Stanford called and pushed my surgury forward... put things back in perspective.

Whats good on your end

It's all good. Been steadily (but slowly) losing the belly. You'll be there too very soon, it sounds like!
