As part of my medical clearances for surgery in Just under 3 weeks, they did a urinalysis which had more white blood cells than expected. Now I'm worried that a possible UTI could derail my surgery date! I'm hoping that if I have one, there is enough time for antibiotics to clear it up! Anyone else have a similar experience?

3 weeks is plenty of time for it to clear up. Good luck!

Thanks! It's so stressful! My wife has been sleeping in the spare room because she suddenly got sick and doesn't want to risk giving it to me.

I, too, was so paranoid about catching things right before surgery :) Chances are good everything is gonna work out great! Exciting times!

Yes, paranoid is right. We have a party to go to on 9/10, just 4 days before my surgery and I considered bailing...my wife suggested instead just not hugging or kissing anyone and frequent hand washing....she is right...I have a very strong immune system and tend not to get sick easily, but I'm still nervous about it!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
