I forgot to add in 2007 I became very anemic, was 3 units low on blood when it was discovered during an annual visit with the family practitioner. After 7 month of taking iron pills without any results, I joined the cancer patients for several weeks. They recive their chemotherapy,as I received weekly IVs of iron.

@@Brandy36 - I just signed up on this forum as I had/have the same question as you. I had a roux-en-y in 2004, and at that time I am pretty sure they never mentioned anything about ulcers or taking proton pump inhibitors as a preventive to getting ulcers. With that said I am very sick and have started losing the weight I have maintained for years. I am pretty sure I have celiac disease as well. 11yrs post surgery I cannot stop the weight loss and within a few months I have dropped from a size 10 to a zero losing about 2 lbs a month regardless of how much I eat. Since November I have been going through divorce and lost medical coverage. I was wondering if maybe you could share some of the symptoms you have because have so many and I'm wondering if they're all linked together,or I'd I have multiple issues going on. I can telling you it feels like there's a bear claw holding on to my gut. Violently vomiting however nothing comes up, extreme depression, lack of energy, and the rapid deterioration of my teeth which I have read can also be tied celiac disease. all my symptoms started in May and have gotten worse not better, still losing weight even after switch to a gluten free diet. Any suggestions, nothing seems to be working, ans do not have the means to go see a GI doctor in order to get a complete diagnosis due to lack of medical coverage. Any advice you many be able to provide me wuth I would be extremely grateful. Shawna
