Hi,

My insurance covers the sleeve surgery 100%. I want to get it but I have a concern. I have periodontal disease and my bottom gums have receded so bad. I've been getting deep cleanings. The dentist said I may lose my bottom 4 front teeth. As we continue with the cleaning they are looking better but still unsure. I read on the internet that a lot of people have problems with their teeth post surgery and lose some or a lot of their teeth. Should I be concerned mine will get worse or definitely lose them? Thankyou!!

What caused the disease I have it and all my teeth shifted I was about to loose 6 teeth in the front but what progressed it was my sugar levels where so high before surgery I got that under control and after surgery am no longer diabetic I have been to the dentist after the deep cleaning he did right after my sleeve and he said my pockets are looking 90 percent better and that I should be able to hold on to my teeth a little longer then expected before so keep up with the surgery and dentist your health is key in all of this there is hope

My teeth are better post op because I am no longer diabetic. I never had periodontal disease but if you take your vitamins and eat your protein there is no reason why surgery would make you lose teeth.
