I am a Navy wife who had surgery July 16 2003 I was 266 and went down to 98 lbs (too skinny for me) I am up to 130 now everyone says I look great but I fear the worst of weight gain. I do retain water in my hands alot I dont know if that is some of the problem but any way the reason I am writting is to Stess to all of the POST Ops to make sure you see your Dentist I had to go in ER because of a mouth pain to find out I have 10 cavities OUCH.. I brush my teeth faithfully and floss I went to a dentist who informed me we are at High Risk of losing our teeth I never heard of this PLEASE take care of your Oral as well as the rest of your body. I love the weight loss it has improved my health but some times I get so upset thinking what I was not told GOOD LUCK and Happy Losing

I can definitely relate. I went to the dentist and found that I had 8 cavities. I asked him if it had to do with my wls but he wasn't sure. He didn't know much about the surgery. I am having a lot of work done on my teeth.

Hmmm sounds like something that needs to be monitored! The last couple of times that I have been to the Hygenist she asked if I had diabetes. I said no but I have had Gastric Bypass. Anyway she didn't like the way my gums were looking. They weren't inflamed but were retreating or shrinking. Anyway I have been very diligent about taking all my vits since then and will see soon if it has helped. Do you take Calcium Citrate? And Dry D? Jen L.
