my original post did not come through so here it is again:

3 weeks out from surgery today

Been taking meds for acid reflux since the surgery

No symptoms until two days ago but then I noticed a sour taste in my mouth a few times during the day. I also work up with it tonight while sleeping. No heartburn.

Pretty sure it is acid reflux.

I always jump to worse case scenarios and freak myself out. So I figured I would post this and hopefully feel better about it after hearing others' experiences.

A sour taste might also be ketosis? Definitely check in with your health care team though. If it is reflux, they can usually adjust your meds to take care of it.

Ketosis can definitely cause weird tastes in your mouth. Usually they are described as metallic rather than sour, but I have seen some people say sour taste for ketosis as well. Either way if it's an issue that goes unresolved after a few days, I think it's best to check in with a doctor.

      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?
