You didn’t tell me why you had a gastric bypass procedure! Gastric bypass procedure is used for treating excessive obesity (BMI over 40 or over 35 but accompanied by co-morbid conditions) that cannot be treated in other ways. Your BMI is near 40.
Certain complications from gastric bypass surgery can happen. Certain complications are typical for all abdominal operations (infections, hemorrhage, hernia, bowel obstruction and venous thromboembolism) and certain complications are typical only for this type of operation (anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stricture, Dumping-syndrome and nutritional deficiencies).
Thrush is a fungal infection inside the mouth or vagina. It is usually due to decreased local immunity. A cough can be due to upper or lower respiratory infection. You should consult your GP to confirm if you really have a fungal infection in the mouth and also about the possible respiratory infection. Infections are mentioned as possible complications from surgery but coincidence is also possible.
