Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 I was told that the nasty taste on my tongue and in my mouth after surgery was from all the antibiotics that were pumped into me. It took a couple weeks for that entire taste to leave my mouth. All I can suggest is to brush your teeth and tongue often and wait for all the drugs to make it through your system...

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 My guess is that it is still the anesthesia wearing off. I expect it will disappear in a few days. .....

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Hey, Sheryl! How'd you sneak out of Sinai so fast? I hobbled down to your room on Friday and you were gone! Thought you had to stay for a whole week? You must have been doing very well for the doctors to have discharged you so soon. It was good meeting you in the hospital. I'm still at the Guest Residence debating whether or not to leave for home (Virginia) tomorrow or stay and see Gagner one last time on Wednesday. Decisions, decisions. What else be goin' on with you? Best, Dr. Gagner lap D/S 11-20-01 NYC > Hi all, > I made it home, but feeling lousy.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Sheryl, Sorry to hear you're feeling lousy. It'll get better. As for the bitter taste, sounds like acid build up. Are you taking an acid pill everyday? It certainly has helped me! Tracey in Santee (San Diego) Dr. Keshishian 11/12/01 > Hi all, > I made it home, but feeling lousy.
