PandorasBox92264 61 Posted June 28, 2012 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
123crod 170 Posted June 28, 2012 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. Cheri 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> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfmom716 8 Posted June 28, 2012 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.
