I was all prepped, rolled into or, I was given a dose of a common routine antibiotic called ancef, seconds later i was vomiting, my entire body was brought red and burning, my tongue and throat swelled up and couldn't breathe. As far as I knew I was not allergic to any meds, now I know different. It was the scariest thing I've ever been through. My surgery is rescheduled for the 28th, with no antibiotics.

Oh terrifying! But if you had to have a reaction, you were in the best possible place to get help!

Hang in there, it will come out right in the end.

Scary for sure!!! But at least now you know...

Holy Cow! Scary is not the word! Thank GOD you were at the hospital - good luck on the 28th! xoxo

Whoa! I'm so sorry you had to go through that. My husband is allergic to some of the meds they use for surgery as well, but his throat doesn't swell up, just constant vomiting, itching, etc for a couple days. So I sort of understand what you went through.
