Urinary Tract Infection..

Hi,

I'm 14 days post op today. This weekend I started to have problems urinating, burning etc. I've had urinary tract infections before so I knew that's what it was pretty much right away. I went to urgent care and they confirmed it and gave me an antibiotic to knock it out. Just a little worried though, does anyone know if this could be a symptom of some kind of complication with the vsg?

Thanks,

Cliff

I had a UTI at 2 weeks out as well. I was dehydrated too, so I think in my case it was more caused by dehydration. Since I finished my antibiotics, I've made sure to drink lots of Fluid and so far, so good. Get well!

Thanks for the quick reply! Getting enough fluids has been a challenge for me as well but don't think I've reached the dehydration stage yet...have been trying to increase the Water intake since this started.

Thanks again!

UTI's are caused 99% of the time by E. Coli. after abdmoninal surgery some women can get a UTI just because it hurts to bend over and properly not cleaning... or... if you had a catheter placed during surgery the vagina was not cleaned properly before insertion.

well..I'm not a woman and didn't get a catheter when I was sleeved...so its not one of those :) but I have had uti's twice before so maybe I'm just prone to them or something?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
