I am seven months post up and have been sick on and off since November. I've had strep throat twice and now currently a sinus infection. I am a high school teacher and I know kids are always sick, but I just can't shake this. Anyone else in the same boat? Any extra Vitamin supplements to strengthen my immune system? Thanks!

This sounds like a good question to ask your doctor.

First, make sure you are at minimum getting in ALL of your Protein and Water and taking your recommended Vitamins and supplements. I have HEARD that taking extra D (in addition to what has already been directed) helps but don't know for sure.

I hope you are feeling much better soon.

Hello!

My name is Rae and I am almost 11mos post-op. 4 weeks after surgery I had the worst case of strep throat I had ever had, including scarlet fever. I have always been prone to throat infections, but at most 2-3xs in a calendar year. But since the procedure, I have had a total of 7 cases. Has anyone else experienced a weakened immune system, including frequent infections? Did you guys have any blood work done? Any special Vitamins that were helpful?

      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.
