I was just sleeved 2/5/14 and am moving from pureed foods to soft foods this weekend. The reason I'm replying to your post is that I also have chronic respiratory infections and the only meds that my pulmonologist found that work the best for me is Levaquin (antibiotic) and Prednisone (steroid). My surgeon is totally against the use of steroids and has told me they could be life threatening, but this is the only combination we have found that works. I am concerned over inflammation and a potential bleed. This is my 2nd bout since 2/22/14 - just started meds again today. Any advice????
