Infection prior to surgery?



Recommended Posts

I went to the Start Clinic today to do my final pre-op stuff before surgery next week and they tested me for a urinary tract infection, saying they don't do surgery if you have one. Well, turns out I have one... but my surgeon sent me a note saying "it's not of immediate concern" and we will discuss it at my next appointment... which is next week, the day before my surgery. they didn't give me any antibiotics for it, either. do they give you antibiotics after surgery? is that why they are holding off, maybe, because whatever they'll give me will help the UTI, too? a little concerned... surgery next Thursday.

Sorry about your UTI. I don’t know about others, but I had my sleeve on 10/10 and they did NOT give me an antibiotic after surgery. I think it’s odd they didn’t give you any to clear up the UTI before surgery. Did they say why they didn’t??

They gave me antibiotics in my IV line before/during surgery. I don't know if it'd be enough to knock out a UTI, but they also didn't test me for that at any point.

I hope the UTI clears up and you get your surgery as scheduled. ❤️

UTI antibiotics are pretty specific. You should see about treatment prior to surgery. It is usually a 5 day script so there is time to fix it prior to your surgery.

I went for my final surgery clearance with my surgeon just over 2 weeks out from surgery and ended up having a UTI. Got some meds and he never mentioned it being a problem.

How did you guys know that you had an uti? When I went for presurgry testing they only pulled my blood.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
