Taste and smell gone

[New Nina 40]

Since: December I have lost all sense of taste and smell! I can no longer enjoy any rod. Can anyone relate?

I used to love sushi and sashimi. Now I have no desire. Same with milk. Yea something has changed.

This sounds unrelated to any WLS and I'd see a doctor for this. My BIL had this happen after a massive sinus infection and it lasted for years. He took advantage of the situation to quit smoking and eat a lot of tofu (which he normally hated) to lose weight.

I doubt this is band related. when I had pneumonia I lost my taste and smell it was a miserable week.. I couldn't taste or smell anything.. my morning coffee was like drinking warm dishwater. check with your primary physician and hopefully they can figure it out. it took several weeks for mine to get better.

I agree that this does not sound normal. You should see your doctor.
