Worried my surgeon may cancel my surgery due to pre op testing results.



Recommended Posts

I'm really upset right now. My blood and urine sample came back I can see them online. And it looks like I maybe have a urinary tract infection or something because my lymphs are low and epithelial cells are high. It could of course be something else and I will be speaking to the doctor about it but has anyone got their surgery canceled due to UTI's

I haven't heard of that. Hopefully they won't.

I had a cold the week before surgery, got checked out by my PCP and the nurse at the surgery center. They told me I was fine as long as I didn't have a fever. Not sure if that's different for UTIs.

@@Amurillo04 When is your surgery? I would think as long as there's time to treat (if you have a UTI) - they won't cancel surgery. I wouldn't worry too much until the Drs read the results.

It's the 8th of August so there's still time to fix it just in case. Your right though I probably shouldn't worry. It's dangerous for me to have access to my results before my doctor has a chance to tell me if there's actually a problem.

@@KristenLe I haven't been contacted by my doctor I don't know if he saw them or not but I'm kind of assuming there's no problems with it so that's why he hasn't called. Called twice but haven't been called back yet which is pretty expected from them.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
