Surgery tomorrow BUT have a cold

[NYC1992 135]

So worried my surgery on Wednesday the 27th will be canceled. I got a cold Sunday and have a runny or stuffed nose, sneezing, overall congestion and feel kind of hot and cold simultaneously thoughts?

Most likely will if you have a fever, but know its for the best!

only your doctor can advise if the surgery will go as planned or not.

if you are sick or have a cold, call and let them know so they can tell you or possible reschedule

I know you are excited, but take the incentive to reschedule.

Your immune system is on overdrive combating your illness. You truly need to be in the best health possible so you can sustain a surgery and address recovery (ie wound healing) without being further susceptible to infection.

If you think postponing the band is bad, try being sick WITH postop pain AND a potential to not get adequate nutrition to combat the initial issue-the cold.

Postponed, not my choice. I feel heartbroken and spent the day sleeping and crying.

Sorry to hear you had to reschedule I can imagine it would be heartbreaking. Please remind yourself it is in your health's best interest and it will happen very soon. Get better and reach out for support when needed.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. It was heartbreaking. I'm SO sorry!!!!!

I was in the same situation (being sick during scheduled surgery) and I tried every remedy I could find to get rid of it. The morning of my surgery I was still congested and coughing up phlegm so I told the anesthesiologist who was a little apprehensive, but we still went through with it. Let me tell you that not only was I scared for this during my surgery, when I woke up I had to cough so bad b/c of the phlegm and congestion build up in my chest and it was painful. I'm so sorry for your disappointment. When is it rescheduled for?
