Help. Friends help. I am freaking out and all alone! So a week ago i was diagnosed with hectic bronchitis. GP booked me off and put me on antibiotics. As well as cortisone. Although the terrible chest pain went away, i still felt sickish. So through this whole week of meds and sick, of course i became constipated again. But i was hardly eating and didnt realise it ad much. So Monday my meds were done but still not feeling fine. Took a laxative, nothing happened. Took laxatives again yesterday, nothing happened. However i did start getting the feeling that i have trouble to pee. And my mouth is burning up, my tongue and insides as if acid was thrown on it - very weird. So today i went back to work for first time. Took laxative again and really got worried now. And at long last it felt like a hippo morphing from my body - very painful and rockhard stool (sorry). There was some blood involved. And i continued to go throughout the day - now only sluggish mud with some blood it seems. Do you think the blood is from when i hurt myself with that hippo? I hope so and hope it is not an ulcer. I am also quite feverish and feeling a bit nauseous and just really unwell. Plus I am itchy in my lady parts. And my mouth is burning! Is it perhaps because i wasnt given Probiotics? I got some probiotics now. Will it help friends?? Is there something else i also need to take? I am very freaked out. Has any of you been on heavy antibiotics and cortisone post op?? Please give me some advice!

Sometimes my mouth burns, check your tongue it may be oral thrush. I would call your surgeon for sure !!!! Something is not right.

Please contact your Dr's office. Any advice we could give you is just speculation. Your health is more important than anything.

Hoping you feel better really soon!

Take care!

The itching on your tongue and mouth is caused by the antibiotics. They kill all the good bacteria, too. You most likely have thrush and a yeast infection from that good bacteria being gone. You really do need to see your dr and call your surgeon.

You poor thing. I hope you feel better. :( lots of positive thoughts an prayers for you.

      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.
