Has anyone else experienced canker sores in their mouth after surgery? Ive never had them until now. I'm 4-5 weeks post op and have had 3 within the past week.

No ... nothing like that.

Not from surgery, but I get them in spurts. They suck! I used to get relief from mega doses of vitamin c, and hubby has good relief taking lysine.

That's a negatory from me. I asked some of the ladies at work who have also had the surgery (there are 5 of us) and they also have had no problems.

Haven't had them either... Are you eating anything acidic?

Yes, within the first two weeks of surgery. Strangest thing!

No. I can’t. Not just because surgery but I have HPylori. So I avoid it as much as I can.

Many people said they have gotten them after surgery. I wonder what the cause is, I’ve never had them before.

Not sure. Surplus of bile, maybe?
