ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted May 15, 2012 I'm having my vsg in Mexico next Wednesday. Will they do the surgery if I'm not over my cold? CandymanYou'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.

beautifulnewme2012 164 Posted May 15, 2012 I'm having my vsg in Mexico next Wednesday. Will they do the surgery if I'm not over my cold? 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candyman 38 Posted May 15, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted May 15, 2012 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).

Wheetsin 714 Posted May 15, 2012 It's all good, I was just (hoping?) you understood that this wouldn't be an easily hideable procedure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
