My mother suffered from Urinary Tract Infections all the time. You could always tell when she had this infections because she became weak on her feet which could lead to a fall. She was also confused and incoherent. Generally she had to take antibiotics for a week or two to get rid of it. She developed a strain that was antibiotic resistant and had to take a cocktail of several antibiotics at once.

I had UTI when I went in for my hysterectomy and my urologist said to tell that surgeon to give me IV antibiotics to prevent it from getting worse. My UTI was very mild at the time though (i.e. no fever, not a kidney infection). You need to check it out and call your surgeon.

Passing a kidney stone can be very, very painful.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
