Yes it could effect your surgery. You must be open and honest with your surgical team about being sick.

As for being hungry and on your liquid diet it will get better. Around day 4 or 5 your stomach starts getting used to it!

Good luck

If you actually have the true flu they will not operate. Flu significantly increases your risk of pneumonia, surgery significantly increases your risk of pneumonia. It's not a safe combo. If you really have the flu you need to get on tamiflu ASAP and hopefully you'll be clear in a few days. Good luck!!!!

I didn't have the flu in November when I was scheduled for surgery, but I was coughing up mucus. I had to reschedule due to it. The Dr office told me to load up on fluids and Vutamin C while I was sick.

Good luck and I hope you feel better!

call doctor immediately or go to urgent care to get tamiflu. next year get a flu shot.
