Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Leeanne

My story is not to put any one off just more of advice and awareness on after life problems can accrue after first 5years its apparently more common in woman than men.

I had the by pass back in 2009 lived a normal healthy life after the operation. But in 2015 that's when I just became ill Malabsorption correct name for what was going on with me. I don't regret the operation because I lost 13 stones and regained my life back and have kept every pond off. I just wish I was educated more on nutrition health and well being I new what was good foods were . I did eat right was active. My body in the end rejected the nutrients from foods it was my intestine that wouldn't absolve goodness caused me a lot of damage 2years on and I only just found something which works for my body and pumps it with pure natural nutrition and it is not prescribed drugs this something world wide and next best thing to fruit and veggies these supplements better than any Vitamin.

(Few of many health nightmare’s i faced)

1.) Internal hernia removed by emergency operation
2) Suffered adhesions in the abdomen area scar tissue sticking around organs. E/OPP
3.)3rd bowel obstruction twisted and blocked/ 50% chance waking up with a bag

(And now what I am left with)
Malnourished, vitamin deficiency/ ongoing illnesses….

Chronic leg pain
Asthma
Lung Fluid
Pancreatitis
Depression
Anxiety
Gastritis
Acid refluxes
Blurred vision not permanent / not enough Vitamin A
Lack of Thiamin
Folic acid

B12
Vitamin A, B, C, D, K
Copper
low albumin levels/no Protein in blood cells/THEY LEAK Fluid INSTEAD.
Calcium
Protein
Hair/nails/teeth…/Thinning

(Prescribed medications I now take.)
Morphine liquid medicine
Tramadol
Gabapentin
Sertraline
Forceval
Creon
Lansoprazole
Asthma pumps
Nebulizer machine
B12 Injections
VitaminD3 Injections
2Kcal shake/source of protein
NJ-FEEDING TUBE
Was placed for/home treatment as well as hospital treatments did not work as great as we hoped it would back in 2015 for 12 months was removed in 2016 didn’t work.

(6 Weeks on JP capsules and shakes)

hair, nail growth
Increased energy
Reduced pain relief
Improved blood results
Vitamin B, A, C improvement
Copper increase
Albumin level increase
Depression tablet cut down by half
Protein increase
Better sleep
Better concentrations
Healthier teeth

Making awareness Is my aim but now I make nutrition a passion and my mission with the products I now take I 110 per cent have all my faith in the supplements' take.. So much support is offered.

This one of my before and after pictures I was fed by a tube for over a year was scary at the time but I feel me again now on the right.

I am sorry that you went through these difficulties. But I am a little confused. Are you saying that you are following the daily requirements for Vitamins, Protein and fluids and ran into these problems?

After RNY gastric bypass surgery, you are required to take many vitamins for the rest of your life. This is because you body no longer synthesizes vitamins from food. That part of your stomach has been cut away, so this daily requirement is extremely important. Vitamin chemistry is important for absorption. Calcium supplements should be calcium citrate. There are also different chemistries of B12. I use the sublingual B12 and was told to use methylcobalamin. You cannot use a time-release version of B12. If you are taking Iron supplements, it must be ferrous sulfate for the best absorption. gummy vitamins are not absorbed properly and should be avoided.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
