I had my surgery on 8-28 and I am 8 days out. I am feeling great even started walking on my treadmill the last 3 days at a slow pace. But I have one problem I have a taste of blood inmy mouth (it's so gross). I had a sore throat for the first 2 days but I'm sure that's normal. But about day three I started getting the taste of blood mostly in the morning. Did anybody else get this? I hate to bother my dr with a small issue like this.

if i had a taste of blood in my mouth, you can bet i'd bother my doctor with an issue (however small) to just ease my mind if anything. cant comment if its normal or not. i have had 6 surgeries and never had that. id make a simple phone call.

CG is right. We pay our surgeon's big bucks to take care of us. My surgeon even gives an emergency #. It would take 2 sec.for them to tell you if you need to worry. Make the call.

Agreed with the above posters. Isn't your peace of mind worth it?

My mom has had several surgeries and thought I might just be from the breathing tube they put down are throat. I don't actually see blood just the taste but I will def. call dr in the morning. Thanks everybody for your opinions.

      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.
