You've got a whole week to get over that nasty cold. I hope you feel better sooner than later.. I understand why you are worried, but just concentrate on getting well. Totally pamper yourself, stay in bed, drink fluids etc. Hopefully this will get rid of your cold sooner than later.

On the other hand, if you are sick, they might have to postpone surgery for a bit - but don't worry, really. You'll be better, i'm sure of it.

Take care

If its bad enough they might. However, flush that cold out with Vitamin C, fluids, and rest and u should be ok in a week...

More info, I'm in Tampa for a week for my sons wedding and will be heading to San Diego on Tuesday. I tell you this, it is vary hard for me to keep this a secret. I'm thinking of telling my wife on Sunday after the wedding. I don't know.

Cold might postpone, it depends. Fever is what you need to watch out for. If you're allowed any supplements (some ppl have to cut off everything about 2 weeks pre-op) try zinc or Zicam. Especially if you have a sore throat (just suck on the pill). I swear by it.

You're scheduled for VSG and your wife doesn't know? You're not going to try and keep it a secret afterward, are you? (I can't imagine it would be possible to do).

It's all good, I was just (hoping?) you understood that this wouldn't be an easily hideable procedure. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
