my surgery is oct 5 and a few days ago,i developed a cough....i have been taking cough medicine,but i think its getting worse!

my question is....if i still have this cough after the surgery, will it affect my healing? and can i do damage to the band?

so worried,i dont want to have my surgery rescheduled!!

I'm scheduled for the 5th too!

I think you may need to go to your dr. Since you still have a week they could get you a z-pack antibiotic if necessary to knock that out before surgery. I do think they make you reschedule if you are sick. Don't wait though.

Good luck!

I have 3 weeks to go and I started getting sick last week. I think it has finally run its course and I am starting to feel better. I have the exact same concerns that you do.
