Surgery is in 8 days...I have some chest congestiin...taking care of it with mucinex...h2o...oj and rest....will they still operate?????im terrified they wont

I had that and they postpone my surgery because of the med I was on. However, the day on surgery (new date), I still have all the symptoms and they went ahead and do the surgery. As long as the med doesn't jeopardize your surgery, I think you will be fine. Please call and ask your surgeon or nurse what they recommend you to do.

Get well soon,

what meds were u on???

Steroids :-)

I had a really bad head cold, and it wasn't completely cleared up when my surgery date approached. I also was taking Muccinex and everything OTC that I could think of to get rid of it the week before. I felt fine, but wouldn't you know, after they got me all hooked up to the IVs and everything in the operating room, they took my temperature and I had a slight fever! They let me go ahead with the operation because the fever wasn't over 101 and I was going to get antibiotics during the surgery. After I woke up from the surgery, I felt great -- no head cold, no fever... just a really sore tummy. lol

Good luck! :thumbup:
