I'm only a week out. Felt incredible day 1-3 and after that just wasn't feeling right, each day got worse. Day 6 was miserable!!!

More liquid didn't help. More sleep didn't help. More Protein didn't help.

THANK YOU to the sleever that posted something that I stored in my memory for some reason... I can't recall who you are or what post but you saved my life. I took an Iron pill last night and woke up feeling amazing again. I took the other half tonight and felt even more improvement! :) Better mood, more energy, and looking at life with hopeful eyes again!

Sweet dreams everyone!! Woohooooo.....

What kind of Iron pill did you take? Like what mg? I wasn't told to take iron but I see that people do. My multi has 18mg which is the suggested daily requirement for average people. I am so tired I really wonder if that could help me too. I'm going to try googling how much iron is safe. I see people taking some kind of iron liquid too.

Hi Rebecca, I just ran to check the bottle... 50 mg. Random grocery store brand and it was even expired.. lol. I was out of options and just tried for the sake of trying it. My dr and NUTs never mentioned Iron specifically. I know my body rather well so was comfortable taking it.

Good luck! I hope it helps you too! Fingers crossed for you! (My multi only has 18mg as well).

My other factors that helped the low iron.... It was TOM when I had surgery. Then I've also had.... Ahem.... Liquid bathroom issues (2 days, now stopped) so not keeping good stuff in me. :/

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
