Hi I had my surgery 12/10/12 and two weeks after I am constantly having dry throat or mouth. And I can't just drink Water to get it right. Has anyone else have this problem? If so how do you deal with it?

I drink 8 glasses of Water a day, and have a dry mouth often. It's worst when I wake up! I really haven't found a solution yet, other than to always have a bottle of Water with me. I make sure to drink 2 glasses of water after waking up, and 2 glasses between each meal.

Hopefully someone else on here will have an explanation or solution!

You are probably dehydrated! I was having major issues w my mouth being dry and I couldn't drink anything because everything tastes horrible! Water tastes like dirt! I ended up getting IV fluids and I feel like a new person!

I totally had that issue as well- I think for me it was that I always felt like I couldn't get enough liquid because I was sooooo used to chugging before. For me it was almost psychological. But you could also be dehydrated too- Sip Sip Sip Sip - mantra for after surgery ;)

Don't forget pain medicine will give you dry mouth also.

I am pre surgery, but have dry mouth. Biotene mouth wash is wonderful.

      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?
