I've never had Thrush but I've heard of others who've had it after different antibiotics.

I'm glad you're going in to see your doc. Feel better soon!

Yup, had it. It showed up about a week or so after surgery. Yuck is right. Never had it before, don't want it again.

Your reg. PCP will know for sure if what you have is thrush. I thought I did right after surgery. I was bouncing back and forth to both my PCP and bariatric surgeon before they realized what was actually wrong with me.

I had white 'foam' in my mouth. very dry, constant thirst (more than normal), white covered tongue. My PCP gave me antibiotics just incase, but he was sure it wasn't thrush. After 2 months of this suffering white horrible foamy mouth. My bariatric told me that it was apperent he placed my band too tight during surgery. He said this had happened with two of his other lapband patients, I was lucky and almost the 3rd who would of had to have another surgery to have my band 'loosened' , due to the rapid weight loss my stomache shrank, and the band loosened up on its own (wheeew).
