HELP PLEASE FROM THE UK

Please Help!

Can any one help me out there, I had my bypass Aug. 2014 and had 2 set backs, both from the Aug. Every time I stood up I collapsed or went very dizzy, this took the hospital till Dec. before they fond that my legs just had stop holding blood when I stood up, now I am on a tablet for life to allow me to stand up. Now the second problem also from Aug, I have been complaining about Diarrhoea and this has just got worse, at the start the doctors said it was my body readjusting after being plumbed, but now it is getting worse, there is no infection showing on a staging test but after the breath test they have found a large Bacterial Overgrowth in my new small stomach and my small intestine. I have small amount of control now but very little via. tablets, awaiting a new set of specialists.

I would still have had the op as I have lost over 51/2 stone so far but I am, apart from doctor/hospital apartments I am very worried about going out, has anyone else had or could offer any help.

Just in case anyone is looking at this and thinking about going for the op. this set of side effect I have been told, at my hospital, Salford Royal (Hope) around Manchester, HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN LIKE THIS TOGETHER OR THIS BAD BEFORE. SO PLEASE STILL HAVE THE OP.

I just am looking for any support out there please.

I feel so bad for you but admire your determination and your good outlook. I haven't had my surgery yet so I can't really help. {{{hugs}}}

      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?
