Hi All,
its been a long long time since I’ve been on boards as I’m almost 5 years post gastric bypass.
the surgery was the best thing I ever did and I would never change it. I did get gallstones and gave my gallbladder out but other than no complications.
While i am some what happy with my weight (I’m about 50kg lighter than before surgery) , one thing I’ve noticed consistently is the frequency of how often I get sick.
before my bypass I didn’t get sick often st all!! Afterwards I started getting sick way more often but the past 8 months of my last I barely make it a week without getting a new bug.
I do work with children who go to child care and kids in school so I know I must get germs from there, but honestly it’s ridiculous.
I try the immune boosters and I’m always getting b12 injections and on different vitamins.
Nothing works and I’m so so sick of being sick. I wanted to know if anyone else post bypass gets sick very frequently? It’s really affecting my life, not being able to work and study and feeling so horrible. At the moment I’ve just finished antibiotics for chest infection and 2 days ago I got horrible gastro which I still have.
Anyones thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks
liz
