Hey all!
I’m 5 weeks post op and have been doing great, but I got my teeth cleaned yesterday and haven’t been feeling well since. Usually the dentist is an easy thing for me but this time my body aches and my digestive system is definitely unhappy.
My pre-op info did not say anything about the dentist.
Has anyone else had experiences like this? Did your info have a timeline for dental cleanings?
Thanks,
Breanne

It could be coincidence, of course - I can’t imagine what the dentist could have done to you to upset your stomach. Maybe you found it extra stressful after all you’ve been through, or maybe you’re actually a little unwell. If you are concerned call your team for some advice, but otherwise I hope you’re feeling better soon!

That tooth polish has baking soda or something in it. Maybe you swallowed a significant amount and it’s upsetting your healing tummy? That’s the only thing I can think of.or like jacks123 said maybe it’s coincidence time wise and you are just coming down with something?

I agree with the others - I've never heard of that, and I've been hanging out on bariatric boards for a few years now. It's probably just a coincidence.

Thank you all for your opinion! I’m thinking coincidence now too.

Perhaps the dentist used abrasive sand that was too toxic. Some of this material gets into your esophagus and then into your stomach. That's why your stomach is having such a reaction. It could also be that you were still worried, which is also a normal body reaction. I was warned about this when I was treated by veneers kendall, FL . Typically, any procedure at the dentist's office is stressful for people because it is a place that is associated with pain and discomfort. I would like to support you and wish you a speedy recovery. Or you can go to my dentist for a consultation.

OP, Did you ever figure out what was going on? Was it the flu or something? Did it go away quickly?? It could be helpful for others in the future to hear about your experience and I have to admit I am super curious. 😉

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
