Hi,

If you have a cold the surgery will be canceled and rescheduled.

It is for you safety.

It sets you up for pneumonia.

You don't want that!

surgery for me to i am taking 875 mg of augmentin please help me vanessa from

ohio and also iam having a roun-y gastric bypass will this stop the surgery

please help me thanks vanessa,

, Get a grip! Take a deep breath and calm down. When you've relaxed a

litle, Call your doctor and ask her the question. This is not the end of the

world, all will be fine. The worse thing that will happen is a slight delay.

Chin up. All is well.

if you have cellulitis in your leg then I would imagine it best if

you have to wait for surgery. You wouldnt want that to spread to the incision

sites it could be dangerous or life threatening for you, dont you think,

I was in an auto accident on 08/31 and developed cellulitis in both legs, had

to be in the hospital for 2 weeks and then they had to make incisions in both

legs to let the infection drain. Please be careful , you waited a long time

to have the surgery done,whats a few more weeks to insure your safety.
