A slight Clorox taste when belching.



Recommended Posts

Okay I know this sounds ludicrous but every time I belch which since having surgery is a lot lol, But anyways i seem to get this faint Clorox or chlorine taste when I do so. As a nurse I have never heard of this let alone experience it. Has anyone else had this problem. And we do not have city Water we have well water or I would just have chalked it up to be my water maybe. But that can't be it!!! ANYONE ELSE??? Lost!!!

After surgery your taste buds change. After the operation when I was in the hospital, I couldn't drink the Water. It tasted very chlorinated, like I was drinking swimming pool Water but worse. I eventually found that I could tolerate drinking flavored water such as Crystal Light. I used to like drinking water prior to surgery so this came as a shock.

I am now over 3 years post-op and this problem has completely disappeared. I can now enjoy drinking just plain water again.

      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.
