I find it really difficult chewing with my dentures. This was an issue before, now it's ×10. I don't want to blend everything. Anyone with uppers have this issue? If so do you have any suggestions?

I personally dont have dentures though would think that dicing foods to tiny pieces and avoiding forks may help? Just a thought.

Do they feel like the fit is the same?

My stepfather got some new dentures last year, and didn't want to go to the dentist to have them fitted. It took him forever to eat. Once my sister took him to the dentist, he was able to eat. My brother never got his dentures fitted and had the bariatric surgery. He had a horrible time with eating. He still mostly eats cheese. Before WLS, you eat ice cream, carbs like chips, etc that can melt in your mouth, or swallow with only a few bites. After surgery, you are mostly eating Protein, and need to chew your food. You probably need to have them re-lined or a new pair. My mom had to get a new pair about every 10-15 years.

Yup -- you are losing weight. And guess where else you're losing weight ... uh huh ... your gums.

      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?
