Feeling ill day before surgery



Recommended Posts

illness prior to surgery? Did your surgery go ahead??

@@nikki1980

I've heard many times that people get sick/have a cold prior to surgery :huh:

if there is no fever DOS - surgery should proceed :)

(always exceptions with diff doc)

are there a few days before scheduled surgery for your health to improve??

not sure if swollen gland are considered a little more serious??? :(

call your doc now :)

get his thoughts

feel better :)

good luck

speedy recovery ;)

Thanks nerves are setting in now just need to relax i just wish i knew what to expect pain wise everybody has such different pain thresholds

Were you able to continue surgery without complications from you being sick? I just ask because I too am ill 3 days before surgery...sinus infection.

I have surgery on Tuesday and I too have been sick. Went to doc in the box today and got 2 shots (antibiotics and steroids) He said if I felt better I should be fine....but what about getting the steroids...should I be worried? No fever, no pneumonia. On Levaquin....soooo worried they will want to reschedule??!!!

You need to contact your dr regarding the steroids. Did the dr you went to know that you were having surgery this week?

Yeah I told the doc I was having surgery. And I called my surgeon this morning and they said as long as I felt better and wasn't running a fever I was good to go!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
