Hey Everybody! I'm super excited because I finally got my surgery time on inauguration day -- the funniest part was when the surgery scheduler called I was in the neverending purple line so I had to ask her to call back and leave a voice message. So I have to be at the hospital at 12:15 with my surgery scheduled around 2:15. I went to see the surgeon yesterday and he said that since I'm his third surgery of the day it may run a bit late -- but to not be worried because he'll still be running on all engines. I also got all my pre-operative testing done yesterday too. Now I'm just worried because as soon as I got home I went down for the count with some kind of illness. Nothing says joy like a high fever and vomiting. I'm a little worried because I'm not sure if they can still do my surgery if I'm sick. I mean as long as I'm not actively vomiting, I suppose they can. But its just a bit worrysome since this has been such a long journey. Anyone else come down with a cold or something right before surgery?

Hi, I had a revision and right before my lap band surgery I came down with a cold, they were still able to do the surgery. I have been hearing about a virus going around though, I will be praying for you to get well before surgery.

Thanks so much for the prayers. I'm working on getting some liquids down right now -- so maybe its all over. Hopefully! I'l also be keeping you in my prayers -- I just read your post. But everything will be okay :)

Sounds as if we have the same thing! I came down with the "bug" Monday. I'm on day 2 of a Z-pack and have a call into my surgeon's office regarding any problems this may cause. I'm scheduled for 1/26 also--
