  1. Had VSG Nov 2015. Since 2017 my labs have come back high for Vitamin A & Copper. Ive discontinued my vitamins & had diet change to reduce the accumulation of the Copper & Vitamin A, but to no avail & they are continuing to increase. I don't know what to do & I'm very scared that I'm damaging my liver & brain. I am trying to determine if I need to see a Hepatologist or some other specialist. To date, my nutritionist, surgeon, & PCP don't know what to do. Has anyone else gone through this? Did you find resolution? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using BariatricPal mobile app
  2. Hello. I'm post VSG as of 2015. 130 lbs down. My recent labs came back with High A, High Copper, and low Vit E. Has anyone had higher lab work then expected post VSG & what did you do to tweak it? My surgeon doesn't want me to back off on my vitamins, but I'm scared I'm going to ruin my liver.

    High Vitamin Levels

    I'm on City water, so I don't know. I will request their water quality report. The high vitamin levels was the last thing I expected to come up as an issue considering all the deficiencies I had before I had the surgery. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

    Uncomfortable

    I slept in bed, but with a ton of pillows keeping me reclined. It was a bit rough since I'm a stomach sleeper. The meds helped me sleep. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

    Thank you Ray! Everything sounds good...so I will wait on the red meat.
  11. I had issues stemming from whey, i made it through to a more nkrmal movement with greek yougurt smoothie and soy shakes. Oikos triple zero literally saved me cause the soy shakes are yucky.

    Questions for my fellow sleevers

    Im a Ft Worth sleever with Dr Bagshahi. Im an active fat tribal/gypsy dancer! I dont binge either but I know that my appetetite is large and my metobolism is junk so I chose to move forward with my sleeve. Im 10 days post op and I do beleive my active status is why I am healing so swiftly and not feeling the fatigue. I dont think your lifting will suffer at all if you stick yo the protein requirements and add shakes in.
  14. My surgery is tommorow and my anxiety is peaking in fear of complications. I have had some pretty horrible events occur in my lifetime and am afraid im going to be the special case with dominoing complications. Please let me know how you got past the anxiety.
