Did anyone get C. Diff from surgery? I am 7 days out and was feeling great until yesterday when I woke up with a horrible fever, chills, weakness, fatigue and diarrhea. I went to the Er and after countless blood drawings, a CAT scan and a chest x-ray I was told I got colitis (c. Diff) from the surgery. Anybody else have this happen??? The er doc made it sound like this is really uncommon and it's freaking me out.

Thank you for responding!! That makes me feel a little better that someone else went through the same thing. I was reading stuff online and it freaked me out. I am as we speak sitting in the ER waiting room, my surgeon told me to get there ASAP since it seems I'm dehydrated. I've been on the Flagyl for a couple days now but it hasn't done much for me. Hopefully I will feel better soon without need for anything other than the antibiotics I will keep you posted

I have c. Diff right now, I'm exactly a week out. It is AWFUL. you need to call your doc or it will for sure get worse. I'm on really harsh antibiotics to treat it and can't handle anything other than water right now good luck.

Hi guys, I was sleeved on 5/7/14 and now that I'm home from the hospital I'm having a hard time distinguishing between head hunger and real hunger. Also, it's hard for me to tell when I'm actually full because the "full" or satisfied feeling doesn't feel the same as before. Any tips or advice?
