    Constantly ill

    I had this too, but after getting very weak one night and having a lot of black runny stool, nearly passed out. I had a bleeding ulcer, a jejunal (never headr of that before) ulcer and lost a lot of blood. I was in the hospital 5 days, didn't need a transfusion (thank god) and am only now, a month later, getting my strength back. I still get a little nausea some days and still get dizzy, lightheaded and sometimes wobbly when when walking. It's not that my blood pressure has dropped either. I'm really wondering about getting it reversed. Because I've been so weak and recovering, I've only lost 55 lbs in 4 months and have stopped. I no longer enjoy eating (and I was a cook and baker my whole life) and with depression, no longer can use comfort food for my depression--which is not getting better. Helping my depression was one of the reasons I got the surgery. It seems to have backfired. Surgery was July 1, went from 286 to 231 and holding (I'm 5-4 and spent decades above 200 lbs, I'm 59)
