Can you get the lapband with the flu?

[finallytime 134]

Just spent the last few hours with my soon at the pediatrician in basically a Petri dish of germs. He has been diagnosed with the flu. Please pray that I either get it quickly or not at all. I do not want to reschedule this surgery. Not to mention I am mentally ready for this too!

that decision would be up to your surgeon.

you can call and advise them of the situation and see what they say.

hope your son feels better soon

I agree...it would be up to your surgeon...if it were me with the flu, as much as I'm excited about the lapband, I'm not sure I would choose to get it while Ihave the flu...to me it sounds like a recipe for disaster. Fortunately you don't have it as yet...and I hope you do not get it at all.

Wishing your son back to health quickly xox

I would call your surgeon and give them a heads up. You do not want surgery and start hurling from the flu.

Best Wishes!

Get well little man!
