Surgery Friday & I have a cold!!



Recommended Posts

Guys I'm freaking out a little, because I'm being banded on Friday & I have a slight head cold. I have yellow stuff coming out of my nose & a slight cough that brings up more yellow stuff(I'm so sorry to be so gross!), but all in all, I don't feel horrible, I feel pretty good! I've been on the liquid diet the past two weeks(leading up to Friday) & I'm trying to load up on Vitamins, but I'm so scared the surgery might get cancelled!

Should I be freaking out, or calm down & see how I feel the next day or so?

I am so nervous, I need all of your wisdom & reassurance.

What do you think everyone? Thanks so much for listening!!

Love to you all!

I would call your band surgeon and ask them. You may need to postpone (not cancel) it and get on some antibiotics. You don't want to be sick when you get your band! Having that gunk and recovering from an abdominal surgery would be miserable. Please take care of yourself.

That yellow stuff is a sign of infection. I don't think you want to have that in your bod when you're having surgery! Call your dr and what he says.
