So I have a UTI can my surgery be postponed for that? I did my preop testing today for surgery in two weeks. I go on the 7th to go over the results of my pee test and blood work.

We must be twins. I have a UTI as well and my pre op is also the 7th. So, I asked my team and spoke with the nurse and they said it's not a problem. Just get it treated and take your antibiotics and you should be okay. I also took the pyridium / AZO that is over the counter for pain and you should be okay. I also read that of you need it and still have a UTI day of surgery they can give you the antibiotics through the iv.

Hi !! Mine is on the 12th. We're so close. Oh Lord. Lol so I hope you feel better. I was a mess w that UTI but after I got the antibiotic and pain pills I was good. I'm still on them. It was rough but I'm way better and even been out and about w the hubby. How are you feeling. And did you get any antibiotics?

So, surgery will be postponed if you have a UTI. My nurse said that if you have any infection including a UTI you can become septic and have a lot of complications. So you better make sure you tell your team you have or had the UTI. It's dangerous if you don't. That's what I was told.

Awesome. I actually had to go in today for another pee test to make sure it cleared up. What a waste of another day and it was hot here in Fl. Beach weather. Ok so it's a go for you. Wishing lots of good vibes and speedy recovery for you. I will post when I'm on the losers bench as they say. Lol
