This is my first post but I am so happy to be here! I was afraid to read people's experiences before my surgery but I did go ahead and have it done since I have been suffering for over a year and looking back, for many years! He did the LIS and removed a skin tag.
My doctor has me on Metronidazol (Flagyl), which is an antibiotic. I have been taking it twice a day for over two weeks. At my last appointment he said to keep taking it until Aug. 8, my next appointment. But it is making me sleep like 12 hrs a day and sick and I don't feel good. Is anyone else on antibiotics? If so, which one(s) and for how long?
I think I have recuperated really well, taking it easy, not eating too much. I haven't had much pain, (after the first week) in fact I'm not taking the pain meds anymore. I don't have the itching I had following the surgery, either. I will ask him before I stop taking it, but I wondered how you all have been instructed. I had this surgery in Mexico, where I live and I wonder if some things aren't different than in the US.
