Hi! I’m one month post op vsg and woke up today with a metallic taste in my mouth when drinking water. Tried adding crystal light thinking it was our water with no change. Just came out and had a bottle of Aquafina with the same taste so it’s just me. Is this a sign of a vitamin deficiency? I’m diligent about taking my multivitamins, calcium, and b12 daily.

Yeah, if you don't have any of the other classic symptoms, you probably don't have it anyway. That is terrible they never respond. ?

So, it turns out it's an infection from having a tooth pulled after surgery (unrelated). I had an appointment with the dietician today to ask about being hungry all the time (she had some good suggestions), and she suggested I check with him, so I called him and he said to come in and he saw an obvious infection (I didn't feel any pain) and prescribed an antibiotic. Hopefully in a few days that horrible bitter taste will be gone!

Glad you figured it out.
