UTI and antibiotics

[SashaS 0]

Hello! My name is Sasha. I was sleeved in 2016 and since my surgeon has retired. I lost my binder moving states and I need some help.

Are we allowed to take antibiotics? I am suffering from a UTI and have been taking Uricalm. It’s helping but I might go to urgent care today.

I’m so cautious trying new meds without a bariatric surgeon telling me it’s okay. Please let me know your experiences with antibiotics post surgery!

I had antibiotics the day after surgery as I had a urine infection. They went directly into my drip. I was in hospital 6 days for a few reasons. I have not needed any since but would not imagine how antibiotics would be bad for us. In the UK we can ask questions like this with the local pharmacist. They always do a follow up of any new medication.

Ypu said your dr retired but is his practice still active. If so, I’m sure they would answer your question.

Also D-Mannose for UTIs is amazing
