Hello All

New to the boards. Had my surgery on March the 1st. Doing pretty good except for the extreme pain I am having on the roof of my mouth. Has anyone else had this problem? Getting a little worried about it. Thanks.:smile2:

it is from the tube that they put in your mouth during surgery. My pain lasted about 2-3 days. I have read the pain is normal.

ok thank you. i understand that it does last a couple of days after surgery. I got mine done on monday. Is that normal? my mother says the roof of my mouth may be bruised. I am going to the store to get some sf popsicles. thank you for your help. i have really been enjoying reading everyone's questions in here through some things that i thought was only happening to me. :smile2:

If it does not get better let your doc know.....don't ignore it......could be something like an abscess that is totally unrelated to surgery.

I also had my surgery on March 1st. My throut was sore for 3-4 days and the roof of my mouth was itchy, kinda like you get when you have allergies. As of now it is feeling better.

i think what i am experiencing is a sinus infection. noticed i was feeling sort of like a popping in my ear when i swallowed. i dont know if that has anything to do with the surgery or the tube being down my throat. could be a coincidence. i have a drs appt in the morning to get looked at but i have been taking some tylenol sinus and feels much better. but if i have a sinus infection i need to get some antibiotics in me. but i think the throat pain from the tube has been gone. good luck with your progress.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
