What a slap into reality..

You are so very welcome hun.. It is not easy putting your faults down for all the world to see, but like I said, if it helps just ONE person realize how important and serious vitamins really are, then I am okay with that..

I am glad to hear you are going to make sure to take your vitamins..  Please don't forget this hard lesson, I would HATE to see anyone else going through what I am..

God Bless you as well hun..

Hugs,
Jenn

I now know how important it is..  I am just sorry it took this to get me to realize..

Thanks,
Jenn

i am so sorry for you. what a horrible thing to be told. BUT what is his reasoning for reversing the wls? if you are depressed or/and not taking your vitamins - well, you can begin doing that now. i don't see why reversing the surgery would make things better. are you certain this is a medical decision or he is just annoyed with you and doesn't want to other with you any further? beyond reversing the wls?

i have never heard of a doctor doing such a thing. it is really shocking. the ball is still in your hands. unless you think there is a really good reason and a NECESSITY for reversing the surgery, don't do it. it is your one ray of light. your one hope in your life.

                                               

He is giving me a chance to redeem myself, but is not happy that I have been slacking on taking all my vitamins..  Especially since I am having more than one symptom for vitamin deficiency. He said that he has only had ONE patient that had vitamin deficiency so bad that there was Ir-reversible damage, and he said that he NEVER wants to see that again, so if I can NOT commit myself to taking ALL my vitamins EVERYDAY then he wants to reverse the bypass..

I had never heard of a Dr. telling their patient that either, but let me tell you what a shock it was to hear those words coming out of his mouth..  I never want to be put in that position again and hope to NEVER disappoint him or myself again...

Thanks for your concern..

Hi Jenn,

I am so glad that you now see the importance of nutrition and suppliments. 

I want to share a story about my best friend.  She had GP before I did, and lost 250 pounds.  She claimed that any  vitamins she took "made her sick", so she stopped taking them.  About 2 years ago she hadn't felt well for quite a while.  She had also moved to a different state and didn't get aquainted with a new doctor.  She became very lethargic and generally not feeling well at all.  She just thought it was because she was working long hours, and was just busy and tired.  I don't know all they symptoms, however, she ended up in the emergency room.  End result, since your body needs B-12, Calcium, and Iron to produce blood.  She hadn't been producing blood for a long time.  She had depleted her blood supply to approx. 1/3 of the supply in her body, and it was shutting down all of her vital organs, killing her.  She now takes them through an IV once a month.  She may have done permanant damange, that will remain to be seen.

So the moral of this story... Don't ever skip a day.  They are our life line.

Stay healthy,
Joy

OMGoodness, I am so sorry to hear about your best friend.. I hope and pray she will be okay.. I have started a new,  and have been taking everything I have needed to at this point today, and will continue to do so.. I didn't think symptoms would happen so fast, but am glad that it is early on and that I have a chance to redeem myself..

Best of luck to her, and thank you so very much for sharing that story..

Hugs,
Jenn

THANK YOU so much for coming on here and talking about your problems.  What I do for myself is I have a large pill bottle that I put my weeks worth of supplements in and bring it to work.  Each morning when I get to work I take out the supplements for the day.  My cell phone goes off in increments so I can get them all in.  By the time I leave for home I am DONE and don't have to think about another pill.

You'll find your way.  God continue to watch over you and bless you.

Miss Shell,

It was so very hard to post my faults, but I know that it is good for others to see what can happen.

Thank you so very much. I have set my phone to go off when I need to take my vitamins, and I am sure that is going to help..

God will get me through this I know.. I just have to have faith.

Hugs,
Jenn
