  1. I also ended up with an ulcer and I have the hardest time eating red meat and chicken...iy seems I can only do fish and even veggies get stuck (cauliflower and broccoli) if they are not cooked to a mistake. My surgery was 6/22 last year and I have been miserable since. I don't know if I would have just rather kept the GERD but it was really bad too. At least I was able to eat better and had way more energy. Now I'm just sick and weak all the time and in pain and most things cause me abdominal pain. I feel like a 78 year old.? Omg... yes! I have not posted in ages but I saw this and wanted to let you know that the same thing has been going on with me. I have been suffering from body pain as well. It is hard for me to do most things on a daily basis. I feel extremely weak as well. I have not required a blood transfusion but I did come up low on bloodwork so I am anemic and have low iron and hemoglobin. I only started having these issues after gastric bypass. I originally had gastric sleeve in 2012 and did not feel this way. I had to have a revision last year in 2016 due to severe gerd and I have regreted it ever since.

  22. Thank you. I was very lucky, I had no hair loss. I took extra precautions in order to avoid it and I believe it paid off. I did a lot if research on deficiencies that can cause loss and i made my own concoction. This is what I took daily: 10,000 mcg of Biotin, 25 mg of Zinc, 3,000 (1,000 mg 3 x a day) mg of MSM(very beneficial) my chewable multi Vitamins, Vitamin C and 300 to 500 mg of magnesium a day and fish oil capsules. I also ate plenty if Fat. I did a primal type diet. I think all the things combined worked for me to keep my hạir.
  23. Thank you! I'm sure you will, just get your Protein in and keep your carbs low.
