chickee 35 Posted December 14, 2016 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.

Wonder WomanNJ 119 Posted December 14, 2016 Holy Cow! Scary is not the word! Thank GOD you were at the hospital - good luck on the 28th! xoxo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laurak814 43 Posted December 14, 2016 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. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
