Hey all! I saw my dentist last week and thought this would be a good place to share what I've learned. Hopefully it helps you research, prepare, or prompt a conversation with your dentist. [emoji4]
Apparently, tooth decay and tooth loss after surgery is a common thing. There are a bunch of reasons for this, vomiting, Vitamin deficiency, etc..
I'm pretty fond of my smile and I refuse to let this happen to me!
I hate Water and my nutritionist said, try True Lemon - it's natural and safe. But, what I've now learned, from a dental perspective, is that it's full of citric acid which will eat away at my tooth enamel. So I have to suck it up, drink the water, and add the True Lemon as a treat. (Totally derails my water after surgery game plan - but I will have teeth)
Haven't had a fluoride treatment in I can't tell you how long, but now this will become part of my 6 month check up to better protect my teeth. Also, I was instructed to use mouthwash with fluoride.
This is some of what I learned. Not saying it'll apply to everyone but it's something to think about.

Thanks for the info! I was thinking about asking my dentist, I will definitely be having a conversation with her now [emoji1360]


Have a great day!

And I’m spending my time right now in the complications section of the forum. Awesome.

I've been spending my time making a list of things to pack.

That seems much more productive. My husband has his bag packed with things to keep him busy and clothes in the event he stays with me overnight. I’ve got nothing ready lol. Better get on that.

I have a few things packed already. Extra pillow, slippers, and robe. Outside some of the usual stuff, I'm bringing a small laptop and tablet. I find googling things keeps me distracted from the pain.

Omg guys!! My surgery is just two weeks away!!! I can begin to tell you how excited I am to be doing this! I am not going to lie....I'm pretty nervous but I know deep down this is the best thing for me. November 15th can not come soon enough. I guess I better get shopping for my first few weeks and start thinking about what to bring with me to the hospital. Good luck to all!!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
