So, I'm scheduled to be sleeved in 3 days. My pcp sent me a message last night saying my pre-op blood and urine test shows a bladder infection!!! I've never had one before...and I'm guessing it was caused by the aggressive killing of a bacterial infection they discovered during my endoscopy. It was a bunch of medications (called a Prev PAC). I looked it up and it does show that a UTI can be a side effect. Will this stop the surgery that's scheduled on Monday? I'm freaking out because I'm officially on medical leave after today and the temp they hired to fill in for me started yesterday. I can't change my time off.

Hmm, never heard of anyone being cancelled for a UTI before, so I'm thinking probably not. But the catheter can make you get a UTI anyhow, post-op. And in most places, they will also have you on antibiotics post-op as well, which would also likely address the UTI if it was still going. If you don't have any UTI symptoms, it might not be a really bad one?

I had a UTI before my surgery and my surgeon told me as long as I was on an antibiotic before surgery I would be ok. I didn't get any meds and they still did the surgery. Nothing ever became of my UTI. :)

I was told an elevated white blood cell count would be the only thing that would really throw my surgery, infection wise.

I am not sure if that helps...

Let us know what your doc says!

BUT I had to have at least a portion of my surger no matter what...I was having a tumor removed also.

I had a very low Iron count and my surgery was postponed from 10/1 to 10/23. I had two iron transfusions and my iron is ok now.

Thank you all for responding! I obviously was freaking out. My PCP said that I shouldn't panic and she put me on Cipro, which is an antibiotic that is a 3 day course to cure the bladder infection. So that means that I'll be finished with the course on Sunday night and my surgery is Monday. She also spoke to my surgeon and he said he had no problem with the Cipro as long as I'm done taking it on Sunday and I will be!! Thank god!!

Of course 3 hours later I got my period. 1 week early. LOL. Now I can focus on the fear of the surgery in general! Can't believe 3 more sleeps and then it's happening.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
