C-Diff........
A yucky thing to go through.
Just make sure you are diligent in taking your antibiotics and getting rechecked.
My nephew gets it. He has Cystic Fibrosis and my daughter has had it 2x
There is really nothing you can do but let the antibiotics o their job.
It will get better though.........promise :-)

Yes, I had the same thing. I felt like utter crap. You just need to work closely with your doctor until this is resolved. Definitely ask him if it's ok to return to work on Monday or not. I ended up being off for 3.5 weeks after my surgery because I had zero energy and couldn't be away from the bathroom for more than 5 minutes.
Definitely DO NOT trust farts... they can end badly if you aren't on the toilet.
This was a long hard road for me but I am better now. I feel good as new! PM me if you want to talk further.

This CAN be a deadly! While it is not normally! did that get your attention??
I had a abcess tooth 7 years ago, i took a round of clyndamycin (sp) and still need another so the dentist gave me cefalexin(sp). I went to costa Rica about 2 weeks after the last round. I THOUGHT it was the water so I didn't think to much of the trips to the RR every 30 minutes. after 2 weeks I was in the hospital there and almost died. Hubby had to get an emergency passport to get to me because I was down there with a friend.
I had a wonderful Dr. there and the hospital was fabulous. but stayed in the hospital down there 2 weeks, came home it flaired up again and was in the hospital here in the states for 2 more weeks. My wonderful doctor here saved my life.(he prepared my hubby for me to "not make it").
He did the "normal treatment which I don't really remember but what finally did the trick for me was enemas of Vancomycin. I wouldhave to use my lamaze breathing and keep the enemas in as long as possible.
Then I had to take the vancomycin for about 6 weeks doing a gradual step down treatment.
It was a long haul but I have been c-dif free for 7 years now. I avoid antibiotics any time I can.

Yes, I had this right after surgery!
It is very important that people know the difference between c-diff and normal pooping.
I had to take an extra week off of work (could've gone back in a week) because I couldn't stay out of the bathroom.
Liquids in, liquids out is not necessarily true. I wish I had known this before I ended up in urgent care.
I was on Flagyl for 2 weeks. It may even take another week to completely resolve after finishing antibiotics but it was a lot better!
That was the worst part of recovery for me....I could've been back to work within days.
I completely understand about not being able to enjoy your new sleeve. Hang in there it will get better I promise.
I don't have any ideas about how to get better quicker..I tried probiotics too but didn't seem to matter. The antibiotics are the best way to recover.
