Kidney infections...anyone...on pre-op diet?

[salgal1 0]

Hi!

I am scheduled for surgery on May 24th, thus I am on my 2 week pre-op diet. I started the diet on May 10th; after about 3 days I found myself very lethargic and marked it up to the changes my body was going through. Today is the 6th day on my diet and I have all the symptoms of a kidney infection; along with a dull headache and still weak. I am so frustrated. I am making an appointment tomorrow to see my primary. SO, my question is---Have any of you had this problem? Thanks and have a good week.

I get frequent kidney infections, but did not have one on my pre-op diet. Definitely see your doc, so they can get you on antibiotics. I was on antibiotics for an abscessed tooth when I had my surgery, and it did not have any affect on it. Good luck!

I had a kidney infection that was diagnosed one week before my surgery. My surgeon's office said I would have to postpone my surgery if I could not clear it..strong antibiotics. Had another urine test day before scheduled surgery and all clear. Best wishes to you.
