Yeah, its not a normal one. Perhaps a uti? or just our bodies getting rid of all the crap from the surgery?

Hi every one, It is possible that you had a catherter inserted during surgery, Sometimes they do it after the patient is asleep and remove it prior to waking up. Or the other thing is when I had my surgery they gave me amega dose of antibiotic, Antibiotics sometimes kill the good bacteria that protect us from yeast.

Just some ideas

Yep, the antibiotics may have got you! I have a very sensitive balance in my system, and if I take a single dose of antibiotics, I better be prepared!!! I take acidopholus any time I am on an antibiotic. You can try an OTC yeast infection treatment, but if you do not get results VERY quickly, I'd get in touch with my Dr. this is not the time to let any infection go untreated.

sorry you had to get such a yucky welcome home from your banding!!!!

Hello from the land of women's health care teaching - Discharge, thick, white or yellow. It's yeast. If you can eat yogurt that is great or acidophilus from health food store, they have chewable my son needed it when he was little. OTC monostat, etc.

Burning on urination, frequency, urgency, weird smell. Thats a UTI and you need antibiotics and cranberry juice unsweetened.

Either way, a pain in the u know where!

Cranberry juice! If you can have it, that is.
