I'm scheduled for surgery on Friday 8/17, it has already been postponed once due to a thyroid issue, which I have gotten under control with medication, But now I have a stomach bug. I've was nauseous and vomiting on Monday and today I just have diarrhea. I was running a fever of 100.6 last night but have been at 97.4 all day today.

Will they reschedule my surgery if I still have symptoms but no fever? I wanted to see if I got any better today before calling my surgeon. Has this happened to anyone, having a stomach bug before surgery?

Advice, please!!!

I'm sure if you are not running a fever for over 48 hours you'll be fine. My fear was catching some bug before surgery and having to postpone and such....told everyone up here at the office if you are sick - stay far away from me....

I hope all is ok.

Generally if you don't have a fever you will be OK. But please do call and ask. You're already doing better and Friday is lots & lots of hours away. I did not have a stomach bug, but 3 days before my surgery I woke up feeling like I was getting a major sinus cold.
