Sorry TMI vaginal discharge



Recommended Posts

So I'm freaking out a little, I am about 3 weeks post op and I have had a yellow thick vaginal discharge. Has anyone else had this? It doesn't itch or burn but I did have antibiotics in the hospital? Should I treat like a yeast infection???

Well, it is of course not related to the sleeve unless you are one that gets yeast infections from antiboitics. However, yeast infections do not cause a yellow discharge - maybe you should see your general practioner doctor?

Would suggest seeing your gyn

I have that occasionally and I have fibroids so it's normal

Usually clear faint yellow occasionally

Like snot really gross

If it smells call to get an ASAP appt

While some antibiotics can cause yeast infections, if it's not itching, most likely it isn't a yeast infection. Definitely make an appointment to see your GYN. Good luck.

Yeast infections can also be a problem when your blood sugar level is out of wack? Are you a type II? If you don't know you should get your a 1 c hemoglobin done ASAP. The yeast infection can be from there.

You're not alone I also have the same thing months after the surgery slimy vaginal discharge. I did have 2 UTIs because it was hard to get fluids in in the beginning. Never had a UTI in my life before the surgery. Also I've been tested for every sexually transmitted infection as well as yeast infections and UTIs and I'm all clean but still having this discharge I hate it I have never had a problem like this before the surgery so to answer your question like no one else could I guess it is a symptom. And I wanted to put this out there in case anyone else had this problem

Hello- I am 7.5 months out with the same problem you describe. Did you ever find out what was causing it??

I’m 11 days po and have the same issue. I know it’s not an STI for a fact. But I didn’t have this issue before being sleeved. Now I just notice I’m more moist that usual…. I think it’s weird. Plan on talking to my dr about it at our visit next week.

Are you ovulating? Did it last just a few days? I would say speak with you PCP or OBGYN. If it's odorless I wouldn't worry to much but check with doc soon.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
