Addison's disease is a disorder that occurs when your body produces insufficient amounts of certain hormones produced by your adrenal glands. In Addison's disease, your adrenal glands produce too little cortisol and often insufficient levels of aldosterone as well.

Also called adrenal insufficiency or hypocortisolism, Addison's disease occurs in all age groups and affects both sexes. Addison's disease can be life-threatening.

Treatment for Addison's disease involves taking hormones to replace the insufficient amounts being made by your adrenal glands, in order to mimic the beneficial effects those naturally made hormones would normally produce.

After reading about this....I am wondering how it would be possible for your adrenal glands to be affected by WLS or any type.  There does not seem to be a connection.

it may... or may not.
Not enough vitamins, minerals, or even proteins may affect that.   we and the docs do not really know what are real long term effects of WLS and malabsorbtion.
