Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Darlene/Trish Several months ago, Dr R sent an email that said something to the effect that after the surgery, food is digested in a different place (intestine vs. stomach?) and the sensors that send messages to the brain are different. So the brain will be receiving different taste and/or craving messages. I probably have it a little off - I had saved that email, but lost everything when I got my new computer. But the bottom line was that he gave a biological reason that many patients tastes change after the surgery. Maybe someone else remembers this with more specific details, or someone could ask him to clarify it at a clinic and then could post real details (since Dr R hasn't been posting).
