You should contact your doctor right away and schedule an appointment to discuss this.

sounds like ketosis to me, all of us rny patients get it , and it is a good thing, means your body is chemically preparing to lose weight...but for the scientific definition, please look up on line! It comes and goes, but yeah it is one of the not so pleasant smelling side effects we get! *chuckle*

You are experiencing ketosis, commonly experienced by gastric bypass patients within the first 1-2 months post-op. You can mask ketosis by using Beno, Gas-x, or mint-flavored chlorophyll (available at any health store like GNC). Hope this helps and good luck on your new journey!

I don't think it is anything life threatening but a great question for your doctor. It could be from you being in ketosis though ketosis breath tends to smell fruity / rotten bananas / nail polish remover--- YUM! Does this happen frequently? It could be related to something you've eaten.
