Hello love! First of, congratulations in taking the step to better your health and life. That is actually the hardest! So kuddos to you! Secondly, this forum will help you out tremendously with all the different types of inputs since everyone is so diverse. If you are having Gastric Bypass, laparoscopically you will have about 5-6 incisions. The most painful part of all was waking up after surgery. You will have gas pain, imagine a colic baby... how they squirm and feel so painful. This will last for a bit. I suggest you ask your surgeon if you can have Gas-X strips or if they can assist with that. I had to walk it out lol but the Gas-X comes very useful while at home until you do that first poop! Honestly speaking you will feel soooo much better after your first poop! Lol Other than that, the first 3-4 weeks will be brand new to you and your body. I used to sleep on a recliner. It was comfy and I didn't feel as much pain while I slept. Hope this all helps! And again congratulations! God bless you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you Tony A metallic taste in your mouth is a type of taste disorder known medically as parageusia. Common causes include new medications, pregnancy, and food allergies. In rare cases, metallic taste can be a sign of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease. Have you gotten checked for this? Did you previously have Bell's Palsy? Get that symptom checked bud! I will message you to get in contact. God bless Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
