Not sure on that you will have to ask your doc.

I was having repeated bladder infections and had to keep going back to the

doctor, get more antibiotics. This went on for ages, when I finally moved I ended up

seeing a PA and he told me if I used any sort of personal toy at all to make sure that

when you wash it to use a formula of 9 parts bleach to 1 part Water. I put it in a spray bottle

and then would spray anything that i used when I used them. That fixed the issue and I haven't

had one since and that was like 3 years ago. Not that I used them all that often but you can get one

that you are not aware of then BAM. I even used specific cleaners, antibacterial soaps etc.. Not assuming that you use them but IN case you do!! :ph34r:

You will probably get one anyway after surgery since they use a cathater, I did so ask for some for the road home too. I forgot I was getting a cathater or it might would have changesd my mine. I HATE them.

Something that works really well and fast is make some pepperment tea extra strong it works like majic. You can get it at any grocery or Walmart.< /p>

U should be good to go if u have taken the full course of anti-biotics before u have surgery, its not like its a GYN operation, so mention it ofc but dont worry about it i am sure u will be fine and get your band done :)

I had a bladder infection prior to surgery and was still on antibiotics and it did not affect my surgery at all. Just make the surgeon aware that you have had a bladder infection and are currently on or just finished your antibiotics and they will make adjustments to the antibiotics they give you during surgery anyway, You will be fine and should have no problems at all. Good Luck! ;)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
