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! ;)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
