Question

Hello to all, Still on my way, Got till the 8th of March. I met someone tonight who's is having their surgery on Monday and she has a chest cold and she asked me if they would still do the surgery and I told her that I thought that if she didn't have a fever the might. Does anyone know? Thanks and I'll see you all on the loseing side.... Shannon

The surgeon will have to deciede if he can do the surgery if your friend has a cold. My wife is having her surgery on march 8 also. She is very excited. She has had some of her pre op tests, but just found out she yested positive for the h pylori bacteria. She is going to the drug store today to get her antobiotics. I had that bacteria too. I had successful lap RNY on oct 1 03 and have lost 75 pounds so far. Good luck on your journey.

Tell her not to hide this from the doctor. A short postponment is not as bad as pneumonia! Coughing is tough post-op--just imagine sneezing! I hope she gets through it in time. I know she has to be stressing! Joy
