Teeth decaying



Recommended Posts

So I’m members on 2 groups on Facebook- a bypass group and a sleeve group. The bypass group talks a lot about having dental problems but when I search on the sleeve group I don’t see much. So I thought I’d ask on here. Anyone a couple years out from getting sleeved - how are your teeth?

This is because of the malabsorption part of the Bypass, which the sleeve does not have. This is only going to effect bypass patients that aren't taking the Vitamins they are required to, or those super rare situations that end up in a bypass reversal.

A sleever can run into problems too. I just had a dental appt and I was given the 411. Because we are given chewable vitamins, they sit on our teeth for a long time and can cause problems over time. These were the tips I was given. change from the chewables if I can, brush 30mins after taking them. Take your Vitamins. Use a good mouth wash. floss. keep an eye for changes in your mouth.
