No Barbie bum for me!!

This topic is about a person who was all set to undergo a surgery known as "Barbie bum," which involves removing the rectum and closing the anus. Unfortunately, the surgery was called off at the last minute due to a fever detected during a pre-operation check. This unexpected cancellation was quite upsetting for the patient, who had already gone through the preparation process and was looking forward to some post-surgery care from their mom.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others who have been in similar situations:

1. It's not uncommon for surgeries to be canceled at the last minute, especially if there's a fever or unexplained pain. Surgeons prioritize safety and prefer to postpone if there's any risk.

2. Having surgery while you're sick can lead to serious complications, so it's safer to wait until you're fully recovered from any infection or cold.

3. Some people have tried to hide symptoms of a cold before surgery, but it's not advisable. It's better to be honest about your health to avoid complications.

4. Be prepared to go through the bowel preparation and pre-op routines again. It might be frustrating, but it's necessary.

5. Try to stay positive. Once you're feeling better, the hospital usually reschedules the surgery fairly quickly.

6. In the meantime, enjoy the comforts of home, like your mom's tea, while you recover from your cold.
