I'm having surgery next week, but I have a respiratory infection, so I went to my family doctor today and got antibiotics. My doctor doesn't think it would be a problem, assuming I'm no longer symptomatic by then. She did say I could call my surgeon and let him know, which I plan to do Monday morning. Based on this, what is the likelihood he'll want to reschedule? I'm on a 10-day round of amoxicillin, so I'll still be on it when I'm scheduled to go under for surgery.
