10 years ago feels just like yesterday

Jun 25, 2015

Well I find myself at a place of learning more and more each day about how my WLS had an impact upon my life. I am currently around the same weight that I was four years ago, about 165 lbs. According to BMI standards this is considered overweight. I find that I felt best when I was around 145 to 150 lbs. I have been going to an Endocrinologist, Regular Physician, Hematologist for the past year or so on a regular basis. What I've found out over the past two-three years is that somewhere along the way that I got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Hypothyroidism, Anemia, Leukopenia, and most recently High B6 vitamin in my blood which could be related to Thyroid. What I also discovered is that by having to visit various doctors/specialists- they have very little understanding how WLS may or may not effect these conditions. I believe that it could also be related to my "food sensitivity" issues such as now being : lactose intolerant, gluten sensitive etc that is also impacting these conditions. I will update as I find out further information but it seems to me that we need more specialist who understand and follow long term weight loss patients.
