Anyone get sick just before their surgery?

I woke up with white spots all over my throat. I am on my way to the doc now. I am so afraid that my surgery will get postponed. If it dies I don't know when I will be able to get it. The following two weeks are my sons birthdays and then my family will be away for a week and then my husband will be away for a  week. That will take us to the end of July. I am so upset. I guess I won't know what is going to happen until I go see the doc and then call the lap band doc on Monday:(

I asked my surgeon about this very thing and of course you have to remember each surgeon is different and your surgeon may have different guidlines.

My surgeon said as long as the symptoms of my sickness are from the neck up he would proceed with the surgery.  So if you have a sinus infection, ear infection, strep...he would do the surgery.  If you have congestion in your lungs or if you are achy and nauseous or showing signs of the flu...he would call the surgery off.  So if my surgeon was your surgeon your surgery wouldn't be canceled. 

I have strep. The doc at the walking place gave me the 3 day zpack. She seemed to think that I would be fine for Friday. I will call my surgeon on Monday.

Good Luck !  I hope you feel better soon!

 I was also sick right before surgery.  I took a zpack and told them the day of surgery and they said it was fine.  They proceded with the surgery as planned! Good luck to you!

Take your meds and drink lots of fluid to stay hydrated and you should be fine.  Keep us posted on how you do.  Best of luck.
