Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

It is pretty common to get sick 10 days - 2 weeks before surgery. I have no idea why, but I see it happen again and again. You have plenty of time to recover before your surgery, so just hold tight. Before you take anything, check with your surgeon to make sure it is okay. I had to stay away from a bunch of medications and OTC stuff for the 2 weeks before surgery.

Get better soon!

Call your doc to ask them for definite advice, but I would definitely drink lots of fluids, get rest, stop worrying, and hopefully it'll play itself out pretty quickly. Good luck!

Zicam also has a mint mist that you spray 4 times in your mouth several times a day, it kicks butt. Echinacea, Vit C w/ that will shorten the lenghth of it. NO MILK or dairy, that makes you flemy and clogged up.
