16 days until surgery and I have covid

[mrsjo 69]

I’m trying not to complain, but I’m just a little downhearted. Just got diagnosed with covid and surgery in 16 days. I do have a question has anyone else had surgery after covid?? I’m guessing I should at least put it off a month maybe? I’m calling the doctor Monday to see what the surgeon thinks.

It really depends on how it's effecting you. Are your symptoms bad? Or are you asymptomatic? Quarantine is usually 10-14 days so if your surgery is 16 days away... as long as your symptoms aren't that bad or you're asymptomatic I don't see why you'd have to delay it. But yeah, definitely get the surgeons impute on what they think.

Talk with your team, because you'll be starting pre-op diet shortly. See if they're ok with that.

So finally got a call back from doctors office. They are saying at least 4-6 weeks after covid. I had the antibody infusion today. Anyone else with experience of how long to wait after? Makes me kinda nervous

I got covid a similar time frame before my surgery in October, I was 15 days out when I got my positive test. My surgeon ordered a 30 day reschedule based on their rules and the hospital rules. Unfortunately that put me in November when lots of hospitals were canceling surgeries so I am going through on Tuesday finally.
