Weakening of Tooth Enamel after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I had Vertical Sleeve surgery on April 4, 2011. I am experiencing what seems to be weakening of the enamel on my teeth since surgery. I get the recommended daily intake of Protein, Calcium supplements, B-12, B-Complex, and a Multivitamin. I also don't eat foods higher than 3g of sugar and I don't drink any beverages with sugar, caffeine, or carbon. I take really good care of my teeth doing the whole flossing, mouthwash, brushing, and ACT fluoride rinse. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced problems like this since having surgery? I guess it's time for a trip to the dentist to perhaps get that enamel coating they put over teeth...sucks :(

I have noticed it, but only because my mouth has been so dry during the night. (I'm still on my cpap) and I wake up with a terrible cotton mouth, also, during the first few weeks when liquid intake was slowed down, my mouth was dry during the day. I don't know if this is happening to you. Let me know about that enamel stuff, I didn't know you could get that.

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

      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! 😞
