[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2555757, member: 527103"] I have not had to remove mine when I had an op. When I first asked the consultant/surgeon, he said he would remove the pump. However, the decision was with the anaethetist who asked me to explain how the pump worked and then was happy to keep it in place. This was my experience for two ops under general anaesthetic. For an op with local anaesthetic, my pump was of no concern to the surgeon. So, the answer to your question is “maybe”. And my advice is to ask as soon as possible and make your case if you want to keep your pump in place. Unless your op is on the arm with your Libre, I see no reason it should be removed. [/QUOTE]
