I'M SICK AND I'M HAVING SURGERY IN 7 DAYS! HELP!

[deli89 5]

I'M ACTUALLY REALLY CONCERNED THAT THEY WONT ALLOW ME TO HAVE SURGERY ON MY SCHEDULED DAY (MONDAY FEBRUARY 25TH). I HAVE SOME CHEST CONGESTION, A BIT OF A SORE THROAT, AND SOME COUGHING. ON THURSDAY I WENT TO MY SURGEON'S OFFICE AND I HAD A FEVER OF 99.7 AND YESTERDAY I HAD A FEVER BETWEEN 99.1 AND 99.4, ITS MILD BUT DAMMIT I DONT WANT TO BE RESCHEDULED

DO YOU THINK THEY'LL RESCHEDULE MY SURGERY IF MY COUGH AND SORE THROAT DONT GET BETTER BUT THE FEVER STOPS? HELP HELP HELP!

Why not go to urgent care and see if you can get an antibiotic since you are running a fever. This way it has time to work before next week. it's worth a try.

That is what I did. I went to my primary care doc and got meds and was fine by the date of my surgery. Good luck!

I was sick too. I asked the anesthesiologist on day of surgery and he said I was good to go if I didn't have a fever.

Thanks everyone! i spoke to my surgeon's office today and basically he wants to switch me for the next available date. His receptionist is a doll and said that she'll keep me on for monday and she'll call me these next few days to see how i'm feeling. i'm trying to stay optimistic about getting sleeved on monday. My pcp wants me to go see her tomorrow afternoon hopefully she can give me some antibiotics.
