I've not updated this for ages. A lot has happened in the last 2 years.
When I was 2 years post op, I started having hypoglycemic issues. It took almost a year to finally get a diagnosis of nesidioblastosis. That's when the beta cells of the pancreas go into hyperdrive and chug out way more insulin that my body needs. To make a very long story short, last June I had 60% of my pancreas and all of my spleen removed at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
Since that time, my blood sugars have been better, but I still do drop, altho not as low. But since surgery, I now have iron deficiency anemia and need iron infusions.
So if someone were to ask me if I'd do RNY again, I'd say absolutely not. I have less energy than I did when I was obese, and I do everything right as far as vitamins and supplements.
