[poppa al 0]

i m scheduled for surgery in 5 days(mar.11),now I m starting to come down with a cold after 10 mos. of preparing for the surgery. This happen to anyone else and did you have to delay your date?

If you're sick on Monday, call your surgeon and see. If you've a fever etc they will probably postpone it. It's a pain, but worth a few extra days to optimize your recovery. (and trust me you don't want to be post op and be all congested, feverish, and miserable!)

Go and get yourself some Zicam! I use the stuff that's on a swab that you stick in your nose. I have not had a cold this winter and I am a nanny for kids in school! Every time I got that feeling like I was coming down with something I used the swabs and it went away.

Good Luck!

Too funny, * in a bad way of course* My surgery date is March 12th and I got sick the day after my signing the paperwork. I am busting my butt trying to kick it before Monday morning so I can go in and do my labs. ugh ... I hope that you feel better as well.

This weekend i went to urgent care for my cold and explained about my scheduled surgery so they put me on anti biotics,inhalers and cough pills. This morning i called my surgeon and they told me someone will call me later to reschedule so right now i m very agravated.

If you have a cold (virus) antibiotics won't help it. AND I know you're disappointed but you don't want to have problems with oxygen while under anesthesia! The point is to get through surgery and be healthier! It will happen for you!
