I'm a little confused. Your post headline refers to DS, but your post talks about gastric bypass. Was your revision to a DS or was it a revision of your gastric bypass? If you were revised to DS, you need to get back to basics. High protein, very low carbs; no sugar, soda or juice; no candy or baked goods; good hydration and keeping up with supplements and vitamins. You can eat 5-6 "toddler" size meals of mostly protein every few hours. Almost no white carbs, potato, rice or pasta. Don't go hungry. Just keep eating protein--meat, fish, yogurt, eggs, etc, with very, very small portions of carbs, like a half a slice of bread or 2 tablespoons of rice. You can eat more when you reach goal. Did you have a true 2-anastomosis DS or a SADI? Who was your surgeon? For me, it's quality of the food choices (protein and not carbs) as well as quantity of each small meal. I can see the urgency of your dilemma, and if you get really serious about food choices, you will still lose weight. Take care!

It's the PA at my bariatric doctors office. I have not seen a hemotologist but it may be a good idea!

I've had four Injectafer injections so far. ? They don't seem to work as well for me.

I was just curious because I'm only one year post op ryn and my ferritin level is 16. My Dr office is not concerned about it at all whereas my friends surgeon would order a transfusion at that level. I just don't understand why there can be such a difference of opinion regarding lab levels.

I'm just behind you at right under 3 years out and I have weeks like that. One week I'm eating anything and everything next week I can't even eat 2 eggs in a meal. I think it's just life.

Good Luck!
