Bad taste in your mouth?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 4/8/10, and I've had a horrible taste in my mouth ever since I stopped the liquid diet. I used to use a couple of 5 calorie mints a day and drank my Water, but the mints are upsetting my stomach now. I still drink lots of Water, but it doesn't seem to help much.

Does anyone else have this problem? If you do, what do you do for it?

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone has!

Try the Listerine Thin Strips (cinnamon is my fav). They disolve immediately in your mouth and really do a number on the bad breath taste. Not much is really being swallowed at all so it might be a better solution to your sensitive stomach issue.

I will look for those. I did read just the other day that cinnamon actually helps get rid of bad breath, while other types of mints just disguise it.

Thanks for your help!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
