I'm a year and one month out and I do regret it sometimes. I went from a 19yr old with the only health issue being overweight to a 20yr old with postparandial hypoglycemia, orthostatic hypotension, left ulnar nerve pain (due to a Mesocolic stricture where I lost 40lbs in the first month after surgery), malabsorption (of Iron, vit D, vit B12, and potassium), and currently am going through intense epigastric pain with normal testing and have again lost so much weight that my surgeon is threatening a g-tube.

Oh wow! What was your weight/height or bmi the day of surgery if you don't mind answering? The reason I ask is because my bmi is 36 and I have sleep apnea and PCOS. I don't even have my surgery date yet.

I was 275lb at 5'6" so quite a bit and I did have GERD which I forgot about mentioning, the GERD was due to the hiatal hernia that I've had since I was a couple months old and I had the hiatal hernia fixed during the roux-n-y. I am currently 170 with a 7% body weight loss in the past three weeks.

Ok, goodness. I prayed for you. I just read your other post about your issue. I'm really hoping things work out for you.

If you have to be on a tube, would it be for a little while? What can be done about the malabsorption?
