Sick again!
Seems like I'm always getting sick, and it's annoying the heck out of me.
The last three days I've been down with some wierd cold/flu/sore throat hybrid.
I went to the CVS Minute Clinic today and my instant strep test came back negative, but I'm still miserable!
I've been to a handful of specialists and no one can tell me what's wrong with me, and I know there is somethign wrong with me - it's not normal to be seriously sick all the time.
My only hope is that it's all weight related and the RNY will help. But even at this point, I don'tknow!
Sorry for my venting, but I just needed to.

I don't see how a sore throat would be caused by being overweight.
Have you had labs done anytime lately? Like had your vitamin D level checked? A low vitamin D level makes the immune system not function well. You need a vitamin D level above 80 for good health.

I think being overweight just tends to lead to a lower immune system.
Last year i had my vitamin D levels checked and I was super low, I took some super potent Rx vitamins for a couple of weeks and then I was ok. But I do have a full physical scheduled for the end of this month. I'm going to have to bring that up again.
Thanks

The RX is D2 which isn't absorb well by anybody. D3 is absorbed much better. If your level was super low, it's unlikely that taking D2 for a couple weeks got it up to 80. I'd get it checked again.
Being overweight could lead to a lower immune system too. If the whole body has to work harder just to do basic things because of the extra weight, that would make sense to me.
