Sick Before Sleeve

[sunnyd 32]

Ok so I have 4 more days until it's finally time for my surgery. Yesterday I came down with a bad case of the flu. I was getting sick, having the chills and fever at the same time, and spending a lot of time in the bathroom. Today I've been dizzy and sleeping as much as possible. I'm finally able to keep down Water and Isopure so I'm working on my fluids. I'm just worried this could affect my chance of having surgery! I even dreamed that once I got at the hospital they told me I would have wait until a later date due to me being sick. Aauugghh! My regular doc said if I get sick to call the office right away- but of course they are closed on the weekend and what would they do anyways for the flu? Anyone experience being sick before surgery? Anyone not able to get their surgery once they got to the hospital? I'm stressing out now!!!

Well your doctor is right I would call your surgeon and see if you can move it up a week. I would stay on the liquid diet though. I hate really hate that you are sick and can't go through with the surgery.. You defintely don't want to be sick with the flu post op. It would be really bad on your recovery..good luck and hopefully you will be able to have it quickly..
