Hi,
I am in the same boat as you, been fighting a sore throat since before Christmas and laryngitis. My surgery was supposed to be January 16th and my doctor wouldn't give me clearance so my surgery is postponed. She now wants me to get on my antibiotics, get my sugar levels down and have a colonoscopy (yuck)....I'm so disappointed because of all the changes that had to take place. My son was coming out from Las Vegas to be with me and now he's not sure what to do because he already purchased plane tickets and pre-paid for a car. But I have to do what I have to do for this body of mine.
I suggest you call your doctor before you leave. Drink plenty of fluids, take zinc for that sore throat and try not to talk too much.
Your lapbander friend,
