Ten+ weeks out, and for the most part everything is going great! One weird sensation, though... I frequently feel like I have a hair, or several hairs stuck on my tongue. Mostly this is on the back on my tongue, but sometimes the feeling is on the side as well. But when I reach for the offending hair, I never find anything. It's phantom fuzz! I've tried brushing my tongue extra hard with my toothbrush, but nothing changes. It causes me to drink a lot of Fluid, so I guess that's one good aspect of it. But it's still pretty annoying. Has anyone else had this experience?

Do you have white Patches in your mouth? If so it may be thrush. I hope you get it figured out. I hate it when a wild hair gets in my mouth. Gross

When I was drinking Isopure I felt I had fuzz/hair in my mouth and tongue. First day I changed that and don't feel it anymore. Yours could be many things - might be a good idea to get your doctor to check it for you at next visit.

Thanks everyone! Jen, I think you may have nailed it. This morning I was telling a friend that it seems to begin when I drink my Protein shake in the morning, and it lasts all day. My shake box has a plastic film covering the opening. I used to think that a small piece of the film had come loose and gotten stuck in the back of my mouth. But since it has occurred pretty much every day since I started drinking the stuff, it must be a reaction of some sort. Don't know what I'm going to do, though, because this is the one brand I really like and I drink it every morning for Breakfast. 30 grams of Protein, Baby!

      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?
