Immediately following surgery I have a thick mucus like discharge for a good 3 months... I was checked out by several doctors and was told I was healthy and not to worry. However I also had a bladder and kidney infection for over 3 months that caused discharge and blood in my urine.

Thank you so much for posting this!! I've been going crazy and feeling so gross and unclean! I had my surgery 5 months ago and the discharge still has not stopped. No UTI's or infections, no itching. Strong odor at times so I've just been using anti-bacterial cleaners. I hope this clears up soon, because I hate it, but I'm happy that I'm not the only one this has happened to! Thank you ladies for making me feel better! :)

You are given a strong antibotic right after surgery and possibly another load prior to being discharged. It is not uncommon for women to come down with yeast infections because it destroys all the good little germs that keep this under control. If you are a diabetic it will almost be a given.

Tucks pads, Dermoplast anti-bacterial spray, panty-liners and a good cream will help with relief .

I see nobody dared mention the 'roids. Those suckers are evil.

      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.
