Yeast?

I am pre-op but wonder, does having WLS increase your incidence of yeast infections (candida)?

I had read your question last week and asked my doctor and he said no not at all.

thank you, that was REALLY quite sweet of you =)

Oh your very welcome, when I read your post I got scared because I am one of those who gets yeast infections alot at leasst I use to so I figurered I would ask this question for us both lol.
I am in the process of my tests (sure are alot) and hope to have the surgery in the near future. How are you doing with it?

I would guess that it might decrease your risk of yeast infections since yeast likes sugar and you should not have as high of blood sugar spikes. Even if not diagnosed as diabetic, you could be running a bit on the high side with your blood sugars. Diabetics are especially prone to yeast infections for that reason.

Oh, i am hoping this wil lhlep. My blood sugar was actually 70 and my A1c was pefect too. i hate to be let down by that but it would be nice to know why i am so sensitive.
Thanks, i am trying to limit my sugar intake now, just to try and help
