My best advice would be getting in touch with your physician ASAP.  Antbiotics will probably not do much good but you may need an antihistimine or decongestant.   Sal****er nose spray works wonders for me.

THat happened before my RNY. I still went through with it, but you can't if you are really really sick. I would take zinc, vitamin C. rest, drink tea, stay hydrated, take over the counter meds like tylenol cold for daytime, and do a supersticious dance around my house to make me will myself better :)

I am so sorry you are sick!  Start pumping Vitamin C and Zinc!  I love Zycam as well, and it always helps me get over my cold faster.

I also wanted to tell you good luck on your surgery!  I will also be in surgery 1 week from today!  I can't believe it is almost here!

Taking over the counter meds before surgery should be reported to your PS.  I got a few pages of things I couldn't take before my surgery.  Make sure you let them know everything you take before you go in. 

You might give the office a call and let them know you aren't feeling well and see what they suggest.  Fingers crossed you will feel better by this time next week anyway! 

I hope you are feeling better soon!
