Thank you Tek. Yes it is a physical and psychological road that never ends.

My big concern is not the addiction replacement I have battled that and one what concerns me is my whole body seems to be shutting down one system at a time

Ty catwoman. It has been a long and painful Road

just saw your post will email you

So the gastric bypass surgeon said you have a choice outta 3. "1. you can stay on a feeding tube the rest of your life. 2. You can die or 3. you can do a gastric bypass reversal to keep things from getting worse I can't undo the damage that has been done" Are you f*****n kidding me? With those 3 choices i chose the gastric bypass reversal. I was able to eat got up to 178 pounds. I was beginning to see the "fat Glenda that no man would hold a door open for again". So far the doing the gastric bypass without supplements and protein shakes has caused me to be an addict to other things, ruin a marriage, neuropathy and tremors from Vit B deficient, The feeding tube issue and being on "death row" for 2 years which caused problems in my present marriage but I have the most reasonable awesome man in the world who now understands everything. It has caused my brain to have white spots due to vitamin and mineral deficienct, has caused me to be diagnosed with anemia having blood transmissions done, has caused me to be diagnosed with iron deficiency and received iron infusions. Nobody believes that this is my real life because of this surgery. I am hear to tell you it is. It happened to me

omg paws i just got your reply while i was trying to finish my post. I would love to chat more with you

Hi..my name is Glenda J Pierce and I just found this forum by searching things they dont tell you about gastric bypass. This is my story and I am wondering if anyone who had gastric bypass when it was in early stages of RNY in 2001has experienced any of the same issues and are afraid to talk about it because you are ashamed. I was for 15 years until it started making me sick..I came near death in april 2016. First let me preface this by fianlly getting sent to a Gastric Bypass Surgeon who literally said to me"this is why they dont do those kind of surgeries anymore".
