Have a cold and tomorrow is surgery!

[KCSG 38]

Anyone have an issue with that? No fever or anything, just congestion. Sucks not being able to take a decongestant!

[RebecaSparkles 247]

maybe you can do a neti pot?

or a warm/hot salt Water gargle?

Lots of steam from hot shower?

[KCSG 38]

Yeah...I can muster enough to get through it. Thanks for the suggestions!

^{My surgery is a week from today and I woke up today with some congestion and I was like "OH HECK NAW" and over dosed myself with Vitamins. I do feel better now but will keep an eye on anything developing.}

^{By the way, for anyone who wants to know.. the berry flavor Bariatric Choice Vitamins are gross.}

Get rid of the symptoms ASAP!!! The anesthesiologist may not let you have surgery! Do whatever you have to do!

Be careful. I started to feel a tickle in my throat & some sinus yuck the day before my surgery. Then after the surgery I almost ended up with pneumonia. Use that breathing thing they give you as often as possible & good luck. It's no fun coughing with a sore tummy. Antibiotics are a WONDERFUL thing!

Thanks...just mild congestion which I could play off as allergies! No stopping now!!

Cross your fingers that you wake up without it in the morning! My orignal surgery date was 8-23, and I started to feel a tickle in my throat on the way home from my pre-op stuff at the hospital, two days before surgery. By Thursday though, it was obvious that I was too sick. I had to reschedule my surgery.

They did tell me though that they will usually do surgery on someone with a cold/allergies, as long as there is no fever and it hasn't lodged in your chest.

Good luck to you tomorrow.
