I am 8 1 /2 years post reversal. We all vary, for those of us who've had them.

I got gerd unfortunately, but I got rid of gi bleeds and nutrient levels so chronically low that even with iv infusions of ferritin and banana bags I have irreversible subcomplications from the nutritional defiencies.

If you want to email me at unstapledlisa@gmail.com for more info and/or support, feel free.

Almost 20 years out and working a full-time job for the last two years and I feel like it's killing me. I can't get in the exercise I need, and my muscles feel as if they're atrophying. My heart is, of course, a muscle and that scares me! What Vitamins would specifically help with that? I'm gonna work on getting more Protein and Water in for sure! Thoughts if you're 10+ years out.

Because intonation is hard to tell, I'm going to say what I'm going to say and it's out of concern for your wellbeing.

If you suspect at all that you are dealing with potential cardiac issues, you need to seek emergency help right away.

I don't know if you're asking on a reversal of a gastric bypass thread, if a reversal could help you with that, if it is unfortunately no one except a bariatric surgeon could help with that. And that should be one you see in person.

I didn't give you the exact answers you wanted because unfortunately in the questions you brought up brought up different kind of questions that I think might take precedence.

If you feel secure in your health status and just want Vitamin input from a 10 year plus grad, you might be better served starting a new thread on this forum site to best suit your needs.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
