That shouldn't affect surgery should it?

I had a cough and congestion that lasted with me for about two weeks before surgery, I still have no idea if it was allergies or what. But when they called me two days before surgery to go over everything they could hear how congested I was and asked me if I was sick, I said I thought it was just allergies and she said okay but if I was sick they would have to postpone the surgery. On surgery day I felt fine but when they checked my temp it was high, I told them that I didn't know why it was high and I didn't feel sick (mine is always a little elevated). They went ahead and did the surgery but I think it was because I was showing no other signs of being sick.

I hope your not sick either. Just try your best to stay away from anyone sick (I know it's hard) and hopefully if you do have something it will be gone before your surgery. Good Luck!

If you are sick, postpone the surgery. I wouldn't want to mix anesthesia, bad lungs and poor immunity all at once. I understand the frustration with waiting, but your health is worth it!

Omg if ur sick def postpone. U do NOT want to try to recoup on top of being sick. It will only be a small wait. Def get better befor surgery.
