oh my gosh. it was horrible. as a matter of fact, her bloodwork is all good now and she is still extremely fatigued. infusions were about 8 months ago. now she has headaches every day. we dont really think it has anything to do with her Iron or surgery now, we just dont have a clue what is causing all this.

Just curious.. was your sister on Multivitamin with iron after surgery? I guess I'm just wondering if I should start some iron now.

I do not iknow if she was. I think so, but just dont remember. YOU need to get on them now if you are not already!!!!

I get mine from a a company that has prescription B12 nose spray, and it is done weekly. They give you a multi Vitamin, calcium/D Vitamins with it. It costs $25 a month and they are excellent Vitamins. You can get pills or chewable. You can google Nascobal. That is the nose spray.

I started my Vitamin regimen before I even had surgery.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
