So I told my girlfriend in California about this site, and we were talking. I just saw my dr for pre op for my breast augmentation surgery. My dr said no meds two weeks b4. My friend is having hers and told me she has been taking Cephalexin b4 surgery due to a bladder infection :-/. I told her that's not safe. She assured me it was. So I want to ask u if she's having surgery and has taken Cephalexin a week b4 surgery what can happen. I told her not to but I wanna know if I'm wrong ;) thank u
