Hi I was banded back in Jan 2005 I am very close to goal and I already went through my plastic surgery back in Feb of this year. The one thing that I have now is back in Feb. my doctor told me I was slightly anemic so I tried to eat better well I don't get hungry so half the time I just pick at my food, I am not tight I just don't get hungry, well the last 2 weeks I have been extremely tired and I have been getting head aches so I went to the doctor and he told me that my anemia has worsen, he said that normal is 14 - 15 and mine back in Feb was 11 and now its at a 9, well he told me to take Vitamins and try back in a month to see how it is then but I really feel that I need somthing for it now, I feel sick. Has anyone had something like this since they have been banded???

Anemia in women of childbearing age is surprisingly common.

If you are getting lots of Iron rich foods, and taking Vitamins, you will need to have it looked into further, but if it does tun out to be diet related, it is super easy to fix.

I don't eat very much so I am almost sure its from my diet but I really don't get hungry and I am so bad at taking Vitamins, since I was pregnant with my son a couple of years ago I get grossed out with any types of vitamins, thanks for responing.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
