Hi All,
Had my open RNY in Feb of 2002. Other than a hernia, which I caused myself because I felt so good, I've not had any major problems. Except this....I have mouth sores all the time!!!

Always inside my mouth or on my tongue. I take Lysine (recommended by many friends) and it helps some, but I still get them and they are very painful. I NEVER had a cold sore or mouth sore before my surgery.

My family doc has even put me on two rounds of anti-viral meds to try to help stop it, but no luck so far. Does anyone else have this problem or have any idea why?
Wish I'd found y'all sooner.
