Surgery Monday!!

Hey everyone! Well the time has come finally for me to have WLS. I am so excited and so ready for this, more then anything else in my life. But there's one thing, I woke up this morning feeling terrible, throat hurting, and the yukky stuff in there too. Now I am just praying that I feel better by Monday. I was wondering if anyone had any special tips pre-op to help with a cold or to keep from progressing. I suspect I will just have to ride it out and wait and see how I feel. I have started on some antibiotics just in case, eventhough it might be viral, I want to do everything I can. Thanks everyone for all your support! Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! I thought I would post here too since the NC board is not as active as the FL board! Tricia

Tis the season to be sick. I have my surgery next Wednesday and my mother has come down with a serious case of the flu. I have had to go stay with a friend because I am afraid to get sick before the surgery. I feel sooooooo bad not being able to care for her. I sympathize.

Get lots of fluids and rest.....Hope everything goes well. Prayers are with you.

You might try Zicam. It is an over the counter medicine that helps stop colds before they start. It really works well. Good luck on your surgery. It is quite the ride. I am only 14 days out from an open RNY and I can say it has been quite the experience. Shelly Open RNY 11/16/04 315/304/284/150?
