Can I still have surgery if I am sick with a cold?!
Question: Can I still have surgery if I am sick with a cold!?
I am scheduled to have a tummy tuck surgery next wednesday!. My kids both seem to be possibly coming down with a cold (they've been sneezing a lot)!. I am worried that if I catch it and have a cold when I go in for my surgery, they will put it off untill I'm healthy again!. I can't do that!! My husband scheduled his work around my surgery to stay home with me for a week, and my mom took off a week to watch my kids for me while I recover!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
If you have a cold, they will probably not do the surgery, they will do a blood test to see if your WBC is elevated, considering this is an elective surgery, chances are it will be cancelledWww@Answer-Health@Com
they won't do it if you are sick!. Take vitamin C, get lots of rest and lots of water to make sure you don't get sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
