Pre Op Question...

Twisted my ankle on the ice yesterday and Its sore today.. Getting sleeved Wednesday at 9:30am... I'm resting this weekend and NOT taking any OTC meds (Tylenol, aleeve, etc)

Ice and rest...

My question - should I push out surgery because of this? Thinking NO, but wanted to ask..

Started my journey at 369lbs and today I'm 349.... I'm mentally ready... ;-)

My first inclination is to say no. On the other hand, will you be able to walk appropriately after surgery?

I think as long as you can get up and walk around you should be ok. Remember, getting up and moving is a part of your recovery.

Good Luck.

Agree, I dont' think you need to push it out as long as you can walk some. You're not walking a marathon, but up and down hallways. It's kind of a fine line - walk but don't overdo the walking. When I told my doc I was resting for an hour then up and walking for about 5 minutes then repeat, he said that was good.

But aside from that, if it's not a major twist you'll probably be healed enough by surgery time that it won't be a problem.
