Ok, I've never been a huge Water consumer, but I'm way bigger now. I have a water bottle by me all the time.

My mouth is dry all the time! Is this normal?

I'm not dehydrated, I use the bathroom a lot, and I'm drinking a lot.

I'm newly banded (10 days out) and this is a huge surprise to me.

I don't know, but I found the same thing. The more I drink, the drier my mouth is and the thirstier I am as well.

Could be the anesthia still i heard it lats in ur system for a while...i would ask ur doc to see what they think...good luck

I am only one day into my banding but I have cotton mouth as well. I for got to ask my m Doc. Before I left the hospital. When some one finds out about this pls let me know

I am dealing with this too all I wana do is chug water!

I was given a patch behind the ear to prevent nausea and the nurse told me it would cause me to be extremely thirsty. She said if it was unbearable to take it off when I got home. Maybe the anti-nausea meds are doing it to you?

I am now over my dry mouth and it is 3 days into my banding. Thank God that was pretty gross.:rolleyes2:
