I am currently taking Bactrim for a UTI infection and have surgery scheduled for a mini tummy tuck in 3 days. Is this safe?

Asked By:tsaffron in Los Angeles, CA

I am on my second round of antibiotics for the UTI as symptoms are still present. I have been tested for all STD's which were all negative. It is a UTI as I have had many before. I have asked my surgeon and she told me to ask my PCP, my PCP did not know. Thank you
