A topic I have not seen posted but probably not be limited to just me - Septic Tank Grease Overload. My tank gets pumped about every year instead of every 2 years since my service provider says we are "heavy" users (aka Poop a lot). He also says my wife must be pouring gallons and gallons of cooking oil and grease down the kitchen sink, and I need to stop her. He can tell because of all the grease in the tank which is similar to a restaurant with grease fryers. So far, I'm letting my wife take the blame but one of these years I will fess up and tell him the grease is coming out of me thru the bathroom due to all the unprocessed fat I eat.
Has anyone else had any experience like this?
Thank you for your service

Thanks for the insight! I appreciate your experience :)
I have ferritin/anemia issues, but I had those long before the surgery. Otherwise all my vitamin levels are great.
I am considering DS surgery and I am wondering, does anyone NOT have issues with vitamin deficiency? or is that just the way it goes? I hear so much about iron infusions and vitamin d and ferratin way too low. Is there anyone do ok with their levels?
What are your labs like now with having the bypass?
By reading your posting history you have had the lapband (which personally I think is a torture device had one), revised to the bypass and now what to revise to the DS. Why do you want another WLS? You have to ask yourself why did the bypass not work? Was it mechanical failure or did you let old habits back in? No WLS is a guarantee if you just go back to doing what ever you want. I have seen folks on here gain weight back regardless of what WLS they had. Even DS'rs have gained their weight back. Not all of them, but enough to know that if you don't do the work to make WLS a success then you will always struggle with weight gain. Just something to think about.

Revision from Lap Band to Bypass on 2/4/2015 by Dr. Pohl
Yes they are it is s long process took me about 2 years. I had to go through the va process then my doctor made me do the same crap again it is crazy. The billing took 6 months to work there crap out.my va want send authorization tell I have a appointment but Duke want make a appointment tell they have authorization. It is stupid crap. But you can ask your primary care doc he will send you to move first then it goes from there. Buy the way I am 100% unemployable p@t. Hope that help's
Good luck with your surgery!
I have a consult with a surgeon on the 17th for DS. I originally had a consult with a different surgeon for gastric bypass. However, after more research I feel long term this is probably the best way to go. I don't want to have to do anymore surgeries.
I would love to hear how everything goes for you.
take care and stay safe!
