    Default broken foot before surgery

    So I just found out that i broke my foot after a really odd injury/fall. (Dog, laundry, and a baby were involved) but anyway i am 5 months into my 6 month supervised diet and am conserned about getting cleared for surgery.

    I have an appointment with a podiatrist soon, and my next bariatric appointment in about 2 weeks. I know everything is relative, but what do some of you think? Can this push back my surgery?

    I don't see any connection between your foot and bariatric surgery, I think you'll be fine. Sorry about the broken foot!!

    HI nomad9988, sorry to hear about the broken leg. Hope it heals soon. On the bright side of things, you don't need to worry about your bariatric surgery. There is no connection between a broken leg and Bariatric surgery. Make sure the your leg has healed or almost healed by the time of the surgery. Because after bariatric surgery, you will be asked to exercise. Exercise can put strain on your broken leg. This might complicate things. Thank you.
    Regards - DR.Maran.

    Big oops...
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.
