Hello All

New to the boards. Had my surgery on March the 1st. Doing pretty good except for the extreme pain I am having on the roof of my mouth. Has anyone else had this problem? Getting a little worried about it. Thanks.:smile2:

it is from the tube that they put in your mouth during surgery. My pain lasted about 2-3 days. I have read the pain is normal.

ok thank you. i understand that it does last a couple of days after surgery. I got mine done on monday. Is that normal? my mother says the roof of my mouth may be bruised. I am going to the store to get some sf popsicles. thank you for your help. i have really been enjoying reading everyone's questions in here through some things that i thought was only happening to me. :smile2:

If it does not get better let your doc know.....don't ignore it......could be something like an abscess that is totally unrelated to surgery.

I also had my surgery on March 1st. My throut was sore for 3-4 days and the roof of my mouth was itchy, kinda like you get when you have allergies. As of now it is feeling better.

i think what i am experiencing is a sinus infection. noticed i was feeling sort of like a popping in my ear when i swallowed. i dont know if that has anything to do with the surgery or the tube being down my throat. could be a coincidence. i have a drs appt in the morning to get looked at but i have been taking some tylenol sinus and feels much better. but if i have a sinus infection i need to get some antibiotics in me. but i think the throat pain from the tube has been gone. good luck with your progress.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
