What Are The Reasons Surgery Gets Delayed Or Cancelled?

[Mrtiger1 12]

I see people saying their surgeries are being delayed or cancelled. What are the reasons???

Mine was almost delayed due to a high white blood cell count or infection. However, they put me on a high dose of antibiotics for 3 days. Checked it the morning of surgery and it went down. So my surgery wasn't delayed.

Anyone else?

I read one gal who can hers rescheduled because she tested positive for pyloriH. Which if I recall correctly is a bacteria and requires a long dose of antibiotics for treatment.

Great new is you can be tested months before surgery. That way if you need the month of antibiotics you can do that without pushing your date back.

I had h pylori. 2 weeks of 2 different antibiotics and prevacid high dose and i am cured. Usually, thats all it takes.

I didn't meet the weightloss goal the surgeon gave me, so I was postponed for two months.
