Hi everyone, havent posted properly in a while..apologies life has been very busy.

I've been banded since july all going well.. I am plagued by bad breath I mean atrocious!!! Got mouthwash no good. Saw dentist no bad teeth. Tried doctors he agreed it was bad, gave me antibiotic mouth wash still smelly. Any ideas? Any one else experienced this.. ( didn't have this problem before.

Are you on a low carb/high protein diet? That can (and will) cause bad breath for a lot of people.

My wife had a stomach bug that was causing her incredibly bad breath. Seems like it would come and go and sometimes it seemed like it would wreak just from her body. This went on for 2 years till I spoke to a doctor who suggested it was "Helicobacter pylori". She went in to see him, got some pills and she's been fine ever since.

This bacteria causes a stench so bad it would knock a buzzard off a S**twagon from 10 feet.

I do eat carbs I'm not on a deliberate low carb diet. I don't eat bread, Pasta, potato, starchy foods.. I will find out if it could be the bug you suggest heli....pylori. That about sums it up. I could knock you out at 50 yards..
