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.

      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.
