Welcome to EmpowHER. It's important to let your surgeon know of any knew symptom, especially after a surgery. Many things can be causing this from dehydration, medication and many other. If you had a weight loss surgery, is very common to experience bad breath after your procedure. As you lose weight and your body breaks down the stored fat, by-products called ketones form. These ketones are partially exhaled and can cause what’s known as ketotic breath.
