Post ops one year or greater PLEASE read!

Hi! I am about a year and a half post op. Just went to the dentist to find I need four root canals, 10 fillings, and my jaw is deteriorating rapidly. I had absolutely no problems prior to surgery, had what my dentist called the 'perfect' teeth. I brought this up at my support group on Monday and was shocked by the fact that over half of the people more than a year post op had the exact same problem. Their teeth essentially went bad after surgery. My dentist is not up on the Gastric Bypass and its connection to dental health. (He will be by my NEXT root canal he promises!). Would be interested to know how many of you out there have had lots of trouble with your teeth post op! Thanks for your postings! (By the way my blood work comes back absolutely perfect everytime so I am getting all my nutrients, actually my calcium levels are TOO high!) AMY
