The breath thing I never knew was from Ketosis!!! I was worried BC I was sleeved June 10 and I wake up like damn... This taste is nasty!! Did anyone have irritation in the back or their throat with that?

Yes I have slight irritation with mine! Sometimes if I drink flavored Water or milk I can really tell. You're not alone!

Yup, ketosis. The good news is that weight loss goes hand-in-hand (mouth-in-mouth?) with ketosis. Buy more Listerine and Breath Savers and watch the pounds melt away! :wacko:

The irritation in your throat could be from the tube they used to ventilate you during surgery...but I ended up at one week out with the NASTIEST case of oral thrush. It was uncomfortable to drink. It looked like white spots on my tongue, back of throat, and even gums. It was fairly easy to treat with a prescription of liquid Nystatin.

The breath and bad taste is probably from Ketosis.

Good Luck on your journey!

I haven't been sleeved yet, but would the product Biotene work? When my daughter went through cancer/chemo she would rinse with Biotene to help with dry mouth. It helps moisturize the mouth.

Biotene is certainly worth a try. Also the Listerine strips help as do the Gas X mint meltaway strips. I get nasty metallic tastes too and these do help.

Make sure you brush your tongue or get even a tongue scraper if needed,

Good luck!

      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?
