4 years out (not feeling my upbeat/energetic self)
Jul 16, 2012
I am 4 years out of the lapraroscopic roux-en-y (gastric bypass). I lost 110 pounds all together, however over the past 6 months I have for some reason gained about 30 pounds. I haven't been working though so I'm sure that has played a significant role in my weight gain. I try to stay active but I'm extremely tired all the time and I try to push through it but at times it feels physically impossible. I recently had an exploratory surgery and hiatal hernia repair cause I started having nausea and vomiting (wasn't able to swallow or hold down vitamins), the surgeon said those hernias usually pop up in the 1st year but that one had recently came about almost 4 years post op. I had my gallbladder removed when I was a year out and he looked around and I was entirely free of any hernias. Also my labwork came back recently and I am anemic, iron is at 16 and they say 50-100 is low-normal. All of my vitamin levels were low so I have started taking a mutivitamin, vitamin B1 and sublingual B12. The prescription ferrous sulfate (iron) makes me extremely sick to my stomach with cramping so I've stopped taking them and I see my Dr. this week to hopefully come up with an alternative to getting the iron in me elevated.
