Okay everyone. I was suppose to have bypass 12/15/15 but got pneumonia. Now I am rescheduled for 6/3/2016. It is official I have Bronchitis! Surgery is 3 weeks away. Does anyone know if there is a set period of time doc is going to want me healthy before surgery? I don't want to postpone it again!

Have some people forgotten the meaning of "support group"? I thought this group was supposed to support each other before and after surgery and not ask for a diagnosis on an issue! That is why we have pc docs and surgeons. Please people !

Carol please read all post before you respond. NO one was asking for a diagnosis, just support.

Oh man that sucks! The thought of it already being post poned once and now MAYBE again!? Heartbreaking for you, I'm sure!

But you know what? It's three weeks away - if you're on good antibiotics your bronchitis could be fully cleared up in a week. Two max. With hopefully a week to spare in good health again!

So let's hope you are or get on antibiotics really quick and kick that bronchitis to the curb!

Good luck again let us know what the surgeons says

Heather. You are right. I was lucky enough to get a great Urgent Care doc who put me on medication to help me heal before surgery. Thank you for your post, support, and kind words.
