Don't know what to do!!!

[gwhite 0]

Need some advise. I have an UTI and my surgery is scheduled for July 12th (13 days away..not that I'm counting or anything) and I can't get ahold of the surgeon's office to see if the med my PCP gave me is ok to be taking before the surgery!!

I afraid the surgery is going to be canceled...I've been waiting 7 months as it is because of insurance!!

I'm not a doctor, so please follow up with yours as you're doing. BUT, I doubt taking an antibiotic will disqualify you for surgery. It's things like blood thinners, NSAIDs, etc. that mess you up for surgery. Antibiotics are often prescribed pre-op for various reasons, so my guess is your surgery will go forward as long as your UTI clears up.

Best of luck!

Some people are actually put on antibiotics before surgery so I don't see that as being a problem but hopefully the infection will be cleared up by then.
