2nd Lap - and I'm ill!

Hi All!

So I have my second laparoscopic excision surgery this upcoming Friday, but I am ill and worried they won't go ahead!

I have an incredibly sore throat and I can barely talk, that's alongside quite a violent cough to the point I'm coughing up blood :(

I've been to the GP. No sign of a fever and my chest is clear, so it all seems to be in my throat.

Has anyone else had this issue and what has been the decision with your surgery?

Hi

I doubt you will have surgery whole unwell. Especially with a cough as it is dangerous for them to put you under a general - when you go to you pre op they will be able to defiantly let you know - from past experience it has always been a No -

Good Lick and I hope you feel better soon

I've actually not had a pre-op. I had a pre-op in March for my first lap that was in June. I was meant to have my second lap in September but I postponed it. So they did a telephone pre-op at the end of June when I was booked in for my second lap.

No pre-op since.

I'm hoping it clears up soon!
