Anyone having problems with jaw or teeth



Recommended Posts

The last few days I hAve woke up with stiffness in the neck and horrible jaw pain and teeth have been hurting ... Could it be that I am not taking enough Calcium?

Are you sleeping OK? I'm thinking maybe you're sleeping with your head at an odd angle and/or grinding your teeth. My sister used to get terrible cricks in her neck when she had seasonal allergy problems.

I can't imagine a Calcium deficiency would give you symptoms like this.

How far out from surgery are you? I had some jaw pain and a stiff neck for the first week. I attributed it to the breathing tube and angle of my neck during surgery. Heat and Tylenol helped.

I had sensitivity in some of my teeth after surgery. It almost felt as if I had some cavities without fillings. And it would hurt to brush my teeth. It lasted about 3 weeks for me.

Nope I'm a stomach sleeper and sleeping on my back has given me some of the worst sleep

      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?
