taste in mouth

since my lap band i have had a weird taste in my mouth almost like a lead taste has anyine experienced this??

When was your surgery? We always tell our patients to let us know when they have an odd taste in the mouth. Could be many things. Were you on any antibotics? It there a white covering on your tongue? Most often we find thrush causes a " lead taste in the mouth. Call your Dr. to be safe. Nancy

I had the surgery 4 days ago, and I can't get rid of that taste either. Let me know if you find a cure. Hope you feel better.

First before you run off and call your Dr. ask yourself if you have started to lose weight rapidly recently. If you have then you have what is called ketosis. you will have a metalic taste in your mouth, and even your body odor might get a little funky. This is normal with WLS when you lose body fat rapidly and be glad for it, cuz then you know your body is burning fat!!
