Hi! Right now, I'm scheduled to be banded on January 23rd..if only I can get rid of my head cold. I'm so excited and yet so bummed that I got this stupid cold. I've been placed on antibiotics and prednisone. Even if I do somewhat clear it up, it's up to the anethesiologist if he'll do it. Guess they aren't thrilled with the prednisone. So, please wish me luck. I so want to get rid of the cold.
