shellys 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Help!!!!!!! My date is set tomorrow (6th) and I have came down with a cold. So what are my chance that they will want to reschedule? I don't know that I can do the liquid diet any longer with out the band. I need some encouragement!!!! Thanks I am most likely over reacting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherGurl 0 Posted December 5, 2005 I know you probably want to have your surgery ASAP, but I would call the Dr.'s office and see what they want you to do. You don't want to be sick while recovering from surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandayed 0 Posted December 5, 2005 How bad is the cold? I got a chest cold while I was recovering from my surgery and it was miserable. Everytime I coughed it felt like someone was stabbing me. I was so afraid of tearing stiches, dislodging my band, and popping my incisions open. I would not reccomend it to anyone. Be upfront with your Doc and see what he/she suggests. Good luck! You've come this far, a couple of days more may be worth it...................... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shellys 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Thanks guys!! I am not running a temp, but I have a itchy sore throat which might be gone by tommorrow. I really don't have a cough, but every once and awhile if I talk to much I will get a dry cough. I would think my chest will be clear and I should be good to go. Keep your prayers that I will get it done. Thanks again!! I have found this site soooooo helpful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
