Hello everyone....as a reply to an earlier post...I am 2 years post op. I have been taking my vitamins again. Today is day four...Yea! I have been experiencing a raw mouth especially in the cheeks. It seems to be getting better now. Who would have thunk...LOL. I just got back on Medi-cal and will be seeing a doctor to get my vitamin levels checked. Thank you to everyone that has responded. It helps to have people to talk to about this stuff. Yes, and more importantly a doctor.
