Hi everyone,

I am hoping someone knows or has been in a similar situation. I have never had surgery before and I have a partial impacted wisdom tooth that is poking out of the gum. I was supposed to have it removed last Saturday but the dentist would not do it because I have a wicked cold. I am freaking out cause my surgery date is approaching, I'm worried my tooth could be infected? I don't know though. I really hope my surgery won't be postponed again. Has anyone ever had wisdom tooth/dental problems?

Dental issues can be serious. If you have an infected tooth your surgery may be postponed. Call and speak with your doctor ASAP to see if they can do something to prevent surgery being postponed.

BLERD GIRL is correct. I would call the surgeon. Does the dentist have you on an antibiotic or did he have you on an antibiotic for your tooth? I just know that if you have an infected tooth and it is not treated, it can lead to serious problems, the infection can poison your body but i'm sure your dentist is monitoring this, right? I personally wouldn't want my surgery until the dental issues are completely cleared up, even if it had to be postponed. Make sure your dentist knows about your upcoming surgery.

Definitely make sure your dentist knows you have an up coming surgery. And make sure your surgeon knows about the tooth. If your already on an antibiotic them make sure your surgeon knows. When is your wl surgery scheduled? Hopefully the antibiotics do not interfere with it.

I went to the dentist and he gave me a syringe to clean the flap of skin that covers the tooth. The surgeon does not want me getting it out that close to surgery. I will have to get it out 4-6 weeks after surgery. I do however have a sinus infection now:( My surgery is scheduled Dec 1st. I called my surgeon and he said it should be fine, cause I will be cleared up by then. Thank you for the replies I was so worried. I'm def not looking forward to getting out after surgery :/

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
