I am 14 days post op and my mouth gets dry specially at night. Do anyone have this problem? What should I do? I use ursodiol and pantoprazol40 twice a day. Can it be the medicines side effect?

Make sure it is just a dry mouth/throat. Sometimes this can be a symptom of a water/kidney infection although I'm sure you will be aware of any other problems occurring with the dryness.

Electrolytes? I swore by my Ultima Replenisher post-op and still drink it when I start to go dry mouth. (Also used more Celtic sea salt.)

Dry mouth is a very common medication side effect. It should improve as your body finds its new normal

I have had the same problem with dry mouth since my surgery 10 days ago. It wakes me up its so bad. I thought it was from rinsing my mouth with mouthwash before bed but I passed on that the other night and still had it. I drank 80 oz of Water yesterday to try and avoid it but had it just as bad as ever last night. My nose drops constantly during the day. What is the cause of this weirdness?

Nose is runny because of fullness or dry mouth and nose runny because of stomach/reflect.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
