It might have to be rescheduled but if you have a sinus infection, you want them to reschedule. Call your doc and good luck!

It is very likely to be postponed. If your fever continues to rise it will definitely be postponed. Your doctor will make the final call, but sometimes postponing a surgery is not a bad idea.

In Sept. of last year I began struggling with sinus infections. I had 3 between Sept. and Feb. My surgery was set for March so I told them what was going on. I was very concerned with the stress and calorie deprivation of the pre-diet, I would get another rebound infection. It didn't happen but they did tell me that the fever was the no-go part. For them, a cold with no fever they let the person decide. They decide no when there is a fever.

My opinion is that you do not want to be coughing and sneezing and having to blow right after this surgery. It's not going to damage the stomach but it won't feel good. Let us know what they decide.

I had a cold the week before my surgery and my surgeon explained that I would not want to be in recovery in less than optimum shape! I understood what he meant and luckily got over my cold but if I had been sick still would have postponed.

Glad yours went away! You will need all your energy for healing. Use a sinus wash today too to be sure.

      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.
