Gum Recession

Anyone had a problem with this since surgery? I've had my band a little over a year and all of a sudden I have to go see a periodontist about my gums receding so bad that it's very very noticeable. My reading up on it suggests that one cause is eating disorders - aka: throwing up a lot. Granted, doesn't happen to me on a daily or even a weekly basis, but enough in the beginning to make me wonder if it caused my current issue. Anyone else having this issue?

It is more likely a hereditary condition. I don't think it has anything to do with the band. I have had gum disease for many years, and have had regular perio cleanings. I still have all my teeth, so just do what the periodontist says and you will be fine. You most likely caught it in time so you can keep it under control. Hugs!!!
