Iron and Vitamin D deficiency



Recommended Posts

Hi! I have been struggling with Iron and Vitamin D deficiency since my RNY surgery on December 28, 2013. I have received one Iron infusion and high doses of oral VitD but my levels don't increase. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you over come the problem? I'm tired of feeling horrible and sick all the time.

Thanks!

I have the same issue, I always feel shitty and my doctor and I have tried a lot of different supplements and infusions, and I still feel crappy, and have low levels. :( My doctor hopes that as I get further along my body will regulate it's self.

I am brand new to this site, however I am years post op my surgery was in 2007 and currently I still have these same deficiencies (and many more). I take 6 times the adult dose of Iron and vit D it has never really helped me much. The fatigue is awful it feels like I wish I could do this over and skip the surgery all together.

I second this surgery was 2005 and I am still severely anemic plus the two mentioned and several more I currently take ferrous sulfate and pre natal plus Vitamins etc., problem is it is not near enough, mal absorptive issues plague bariatric patients . Give me back my strong body and diabetes, that I could deal with easily, this....NO!

      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!!
