I am 10 days away from plication. I just found out today that I was supposed to be taking an antibiotic and acid medicine 2 weeks before surgery. Oops! Nobody told me this. They said 10 days will be fine. Anyone else take an antibiotoc and prevacid prior to surgery?

Hmm well I started taking pepcid (a ppi) since I came home. No antibiotics though.

No I was not instructed to do that although I got sick the week before surgery and took an antibiotic because of that, but they never told me to take anything prior to surgery, in fact they told me to stop my meds two days before surgery.

The antibiotic has something to do with h-pyloric syndrome. I guess many people have it, and it is just a precaution. I remember Doctor Cottam in Salt Lake said they test their patients for it. Since my Doc is far from me. I guess I just take it just in case. anyone know if I can breast feed while on antibiotics? Well, I'm gonna call my pharmacy anyway.

I took antibiotics and some other misc prescriptions for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I had my surgery with Dr. Watkins, and I beleive that this is a standard request that he makes.
