Teeth And Gums Feel Weird



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done this past Monday (4/2). My teeth and mouth feel weird. It feels like maybe my gums are bleeding, but it doesnt look like that. I have no teeth or gum issues - I have never even had a cavity. Is this normal? Thank you for any help or information.

That is an excellent question.....I had my surgery on Dec 11, 2012 and as of late I have noticed that my teeth and gums are becoming more sensitive and that my gums are receeding. Anyone else have any issues with their teeth and gums since surgery.

I'm noticing that I'm having more pain in my teeth and gums. I haven't been doing good with getting in my Vitamins or Protein so I wonder if that has any correlation.

I had the same problem. Have you been taking your Calcium? I switched to the caltrate chewables and it went away. Maybe try that?

I haven't had any issues but I use Sensdyne toothpaste all the time.

I have not started to take my Multivitamin yet. My paperwork says that I can start that after I have my first office visit post-op which is this coming Wednesday. I am already using sensodyne toothpaste. Thanks for the information.

      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.
