Dry Mouth after lap band surgery

HI,

I had lap band surgery October 19th.  So far I love it!  Down 40 pounds.  I am suffering though from extreme extreme dry mouth.  I was just wondering if anyone else had had an issue like this?  Could it have anything to do with the vagus nerve?  No amount of water or dry mouth products help.

I wish I had some advice, but I have not experienced a dry mouth except for right after surgery. Have you asked your doctor to see if he or she has some insight?

Congrats on your weight loss!

I haven't had the problem either at least not from the band but I have some meds that cause it. I never had any lick with the mouth moisturizers either! I just drink lots of ice water and try to stay super hydrated. You can always drink more than the 64 oz they say we need, that is a minimum level we need to take in. Other than that I would also suggest speaking to your primary doc about it. I haven't seen anyone on the forum here write about it before so I don't think it is related to the band in any way.
