it is the day before my surgery and i have horrible sinus headache and a fever of 101. Do you think they would cancel the surgery if i had a fever tomorrow morning?

call your doctor. You dont want to mess around with your health.

It might have to be rescheduled but if you have a sinus infection, you want them to reschedule. Call your doc and good luck!

It is very likely to be postponed. If your fever continues to rise it will definitely be postponed. Your doctor will make the final call, but sometimes postponing a surgery is not a bad idea.

In Sept. of last year I began struggling with sinus infections. I had 3 between Sept. and Feb. My surgery was set for March so I told them what was going on. I was very concerned with the stress and calorie deprivation of the pre-diet, I would get another rebound infection. It didn't happen but they did tell me that the fever was the no-go part. For them, a cold with no fever they let the person decide. They decide no when there is a fever.

My opinion is that you do not want to be coughing and sneezing and having to blow right after this surgery. It's not going to damage the stomach but it won't feel good. Let us know what they decide.

Fever and headache are gone now, maybe it was just stress

Congratulations! I will keep you in mind tomorrow and send you good surgery vibes!! Take care and be sure and post and let us know how you are once you feel up to it.

I had a cold the week before my surgery and my surgeon explained that I would not want to be in recovery in less than optimum shape! I understood what he meant and luckily got over my cold but if I had been sick still would have postponed.

Glad yours went away! You will need all your energy for healing. Use a sinus wash today too to be sure.
