How did I know that I would end up a stuffy mess right before surgery? I've been working on this process for 7 months, I finally have surgery in 10 days and I'm sick! I'm almost afraid to go to the Dr. For fear that they'll tell me I can't get surgery because I'm sick. Stuffy, sore throat, ear ache. If they put my on antibiotics, do you think that would delay my surgery for any reason?

I would check it out better take them and heal. My surgery was postponed three days before only to find out I would have died. It cost a month delay but better safe than sorry. You might find its something you will fix in three days or two.

I was worried about taking antibiotics before surgery. Idk if it would be an issue with my surgeon or not. But, I'm here at my PCP office. They've been working closely together. So, I'm sure he might have some answers for me soon.

Just got out of the Dr. he gave me a 5 day zpack since surgery in 9 days and cough meds w/codeine

I was going to say... The same exact thing happened to me a week before surgery. They put me on an antibiotic for a few days before and everything was just fine. you'll be fine. Drink lots of hot tea with honey. Honey is a natural antibiotic.

Good idea. I will definitely have to do that! It just make me nervous. I just know if I have a fever that day I'm sure that means no surgery. Yuck! Can't think that way
