Freaking Out - Surgery Tomorrow - Oral Yeast Infection



Recommended Posts

Okay gang - official freak out time. I'm having surgery tomorrow and I think I developed an oral yeast infection from all sugar in the juice I'm mixing with Protein Drinks to make them pallatable. I usually stay away from juices because of the sugar, but I figured for two days it would be okay. I'm assuming the sugar in the juice was a shock to my system and caused the yeast infection. Does anyone know if they won't let me have my surgery because of an oral yeast infections?? Please reply asap!!!

Wow, so I wasn't supposed to have ANY fruit juices on my pre-op. Reason why? It's cuz fructose will make your liver fatty...

I'd call you doctor. Are you sure it's thrush?

:( Better call your doctor. Did he know you were mixing your Protein with fruit juice?

Fluffy - yes - it was suggested. The pre-op liquid diet for me is just to clear out the stomach, not for weight loss.

Kakatlady - yes, I had my surgery!! Surgery went well, no complications, but I was having a lot of difficulty drinking (sipping) anything - lots of pain regardless of how small the sips were. After being home for two days, I became dehydrated and had to be re admitted to the hospital yesterday to get IV fluids. Came back home today and am now doing fine. It just took longer for the swelling at the opening of my stomach to go down. Thanks for asking and for your concern!!

Congratulations. I just had a tooth extracted and have a mouth full of canker sores. I am scheduled for March 5th and not sure how I am going to manage with additional mouth pain. Any tips?

      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.
