i think you should be okay. i was a little stuffy the week before mine. i used saline a lot. also if you can take a hot shower that might help open you up. they took a urine sample the morning of my surgery so if you have a temp or had an infection they will find it. you will be fine. you will be so glad you got this done and today will be over before you know it. i was scared to death but the surgery was nothing. let me know how you are feeling. i will pray for you right now. :lol:

you should have a tube for breathing anyway, so your nose will be out of the question. good luck, i had my band on tuesday and am feeling much better, still a little sore. god be with you. tara.:lol:

I too had a cold the day I was banded. I did everything I could to get rid of it to no resolve. But I was fine. Just did alot more snoring so they monitored my breathing afterwards.

      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.
