Hi, I am having my gallbladder removed on the 12th November, and 2 weeks ago I had a tooth infection and was on antibiotics, somebody told me that I should postpone the operation in case I still have an infection in my tooth, i.e. the root is cracked and I will have to have it out, I don't want to do this as I have been in pain for months with this, is there any advice for this, is she right, thanks Stella

when you have your pre op appointment they test your urine blood take swaps of your mouth and groin. For any infection. I am presuming you haven't had this . If they are concerned about your tooth they will put you on a course of antibiotics to take before the operation.
if you have already had your pre op appointment and are concerned now go to your
gp and they may put you on a weeks course to just ensure your clear .
Youve got plenty of time ... Try not to panic. I got like it to so desperate to have it removed terrified of getting a cold or bladder infection etc ....

any worries tell the nurse at your pre op .The pre op is to fix all little issues before your op. You'll get there .... My friend just had a kidney removed with a cancerous tumour in it. She went to her pre op and her urine showed infection they ran her and said to collect prescription for antibiotics. She took the course had a quick urine test at gps given all clear and had op on time .
