Has anyone heard of having damage to your teeth as a result of WLS? Im assuming from lack of nutrients? I had someone tell me this, but it was the first time I have heard of it......Little worried because I am very picky about my teeth

It does happen, it is generally associated with the malabsorptive procedures. People with RNY have high incidents of enamel crumbling & tooth breakage. From what I've read/researched of malabsorptive experiences, it seems the teeth issues were largely avoided by people who took large anmounts of D3 and calcium citrate. A friend of mine who had RNY in the early 2000s has lost 4 teeth, and been through countless dental procedures. She was not stringent about her supplement routine.
