Question: hello ... I am a 60 year old female with diabetis and a myriad of other chronic health conditions. I am morbidly obese abd have been preparing for over a year to undergo gastric bypass surgery (roux en y). durine the past year, several additional health concerns have surfaced which keeps postponing the surgery ... abnormal uterine bleeding and a cancer scare which resulted in a hemoglobin of 8 and an eventual uterine artery embolization to stop the bleeding; a severe asthma episode with bronchitis that necessitated the use of prednisone and most recently non healing venous ulcers which tested positive for MRSA. after more than 6 weeks of weekly debriedment and pressure wraps along with antiobiotic therapy (bactrim) and saphenous vein ablation in both legs, the ulcers are healed and just 2 days ago I received clearance from both my surgeon and the anesthesia pre-op clinic for the surgery to proceed next week, October 20th. however, much to my dismay, a routine urinalysis performed during the pre op testing has revealed what appears to be a kidney infection (I will attach lab results). we are still waiting for the culture and sensitivity reports. do you think this latest infection will cause the surgery to be postponed yet again and what can I expect in the way of treatment?could this possibly be the MRSA infection resurfacing? will this ibfection require inpatiebt treatment? I have had multiple bladder infections in the past 3 years but never a kidney infection. I have severe overactive bladder with urgency, frequency and painful bladder spasms which I believe have masked the symptoms of the kidney infection so I don't know how long I may have had this problem. please respond and help me understand what I may be facing for treatment. obviously, I hope my surgery won't be postpond again but I am preparing myself for that possibility.
