Adrenalin Fatigue? That's a new one I've never heard of before. Had to Google it to find out what it was. Does it affect your willpower to exercise?

I'm no use to you but I do sympathize!

My mom was diagnosed with it a few years ago. She's never had weight loss surgery but is overweight. At the time it was determined to be mostly due to stress, she ended up having to quit her job and go on disability. Not sure if you're that bad, or will have to get that bad.

I'd suggest further testing, reduce your stress and read as much as you can on it. I don't think it's band related but probably didn't help that particular situation.

Out of curiosity how were you diagnosed with adrenal fatigue? I also have read that it comes from prolonged chronic stress. How does your doctor treat for adrenal fatigue?

'Adrenal fatigue' comes not from 'stress' but from chronic DISstress. The capacity for the body to maintain a homeostatic balance with all the challenges of the environment is a condition of 'health'. There are huge amounts of reading on the subject.

Practicitioners of nutritional therapy are familiar with the term and how to deal with it. Whether a registered dietician or a licensed naturopath, or other specialist, this kind of issue is fairly common, often unrecognized and benefits tremendously from nutrtional al life style adjustments.

Adrenal regulate a wide variety of bodily functions. Guyten's Physiology texts describe at length the mechanisms of such.

Check out your local resources & you'll probably find qualified professionals to help.

      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.
