If it isn't broken I wouldn't think so.  Have you called the
surgeons office?

I can't imagine why it would, it doesn't affect the area they are working on. Good luck!

Yeah but what about her ability to walk around after the surgery which she will be required to do every 2 hours. She is not going to want to shove two crutches up under her arms to walk around like that.

After fighting Tricare and going through a peer to peer too finally get approval I am willing to hop or walk on crutches every two hours.This revision would be worth it...

You can get a walker, with or without wheels.  I believe it would be a bit easier to get around with a walker than crutches.  I speak from experience; I had ankle reconstruction surgery about three months before I had my original bariatric surgery.

Walkers were actually standard equipment at the Delano Regional Medical Center, where I had my revision from Lap Band to sleeve. 

What was really odd was that the surgical wing was not dedicated to bariatrics but only had bariatric wheelchairs.

If your bariatric surgeon chooses to postpone your surgery, it shouldn't be more than a few days; however, I hope that doesn't happen.

Best wishes.
