Anyone experience sensitive gums? I am 6 weeks post op and it appears my gums are becoming so sensitive. I am on Multivitamins daily and drink milk and have yoghurt almost daily. Any ideas?

Oh my gosh! The exact same thing is happening to me. I was just at the dentist today, and told them, but I didn't even think to ask if there was a correlation. My gums feel swollen, and tender. I hope someone can help here.

I experienced that during weeks 1 and 2, but it resolved. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and i was thinking about asking them about that.

I've actually noticed that every time I am on a low carb diet that I get really bad tooth sensitivity. I don't know what the correlation is.

Starting Weight: 270, Surgery Weight: 251, Two-Week Post-op Weight: 241, Four-Week Post-op Weight: 235

I just noticed today that the tips of my front top/bottom teeth look slightly translucent. It didn't look that way yesterday!

Reading up on it a bit more tonight, it could be from a B12 deficiency.

I haven't really been vomiting for about 2 weeks, do don't think it's that.

I will contact my dr to discuss further :-)

      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.

      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! 😞
