Allergic reaction

[LadyDarkness415 41]

I am 4 days until surgery and I went into anaphylactic shock last night from antibiotics that I was never allergic to before. I'm fine now. Ran around doing stuff all day. I'm just scared that they aren't going to allow me to do surgery because of it. I've worked so damn hard to get where I am now. I'm down almost 20 lbs in the last week and a half on the liquid diet. Did anything like this happen to anyone else pre-op? What was the outcome?

You need to tell your surgeon so they do not prescribe the problem medicine. They need this information for your safety. My mother-in-law is prepping for WLS and she caught Shingles. They are working with that therefore your doc can work with this. Trust him with this information.

One year before surgery I had a reaction to an antibiotic (hives) that I had always taken. Make sure to let your surgeon know and of course your primary (all your medical doctors should be notified). Your Anesthesiologist will meet with you day of procedure and make sure to tell them. Good luck!

Thanks everyone. I've already alerted them. Good to know it shouldn't hinder my surgery.
