Sleeved 9/06/16. I have my first cold and sinus infection since my surgery. The urgent care doctor prescribed Augmentin ( amoxicillin ) 875mg. I told her about my surgery.

What is your experience with antibiotics? What antibiotics have you heard you can or have taken? Which ones if any should be avoided?

I left a message for the surgical team. They are closed on Fridays.

After you finish your antibiotics remember to take Probiotics for a couple weeks. Antibiotics destroy not only the bad bacteria but also the good bacteria in your gut. So therefore you will need to reestablish these colonies of good bacteria in order to maintain your digestive process.

I'm just finishing a round of doxycycline for a bad ear infection. I'm about 8 months post op and this is my first round of antibiotics since surgery, but I haven't noticed anything! I do take them with food, but I've had zero pain or stomach upset.

Hopefully yours goes just as smooth!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
