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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
