I am 14 days post op and my mouth gets dry specially at night. Do anyone have this problem? What should I do? I use ursodiol and pantoprazol40 twice a day. Can it be the medicines side effect?

Make sure it is just a dry mouth/throat. Sometimes this can be a symptom of a water/kidney infection although I'm sure you will be aware of any other problems occurring with the dryness.

Electrolytes? I swore by my Ultima Replenisher post-op and still drink it when I start to go dry mouth. (Also used more Celtic sea salt.)

Dry mouth is a very common medication side effect. It should improve as your body finds its new normal

I have had the same problem with dry mouth since my surgery 10 days ago. It wakes me up its so bad. I thought it was from rinsing my mouth with mouthwash before bed but I passed on that the other night and still had it. I drank 80 oz of Water yesterday to try and avoid it but had it just as bad as ever last night. My nose drops constantly during the day. What is the cause of this weirdness?

Nose is runny because of fullness or dry mouth and nose runny because of stomach/reflect.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
