Ugh! So, when I got home from the hospital I had dry mouth and thought I was dehydrated. And when I looked at my tongue, I thought the white film I had also came from being dehydrated. Called my surgeon, and they said to get some dry mouth spray. When my throats started to hurt and it became hard to swallow, I went to my PCP, and they said I had full blown thrush! Did anyone else experience this? Is thrush common after surgery?

It's most likely caused by the antibiotics. Making sure you take probiotics after surgery. It's good for gut health and to avoid thrush. I thought I was getting something after surgery but took my probiotics and it went away and all was good.
