Gastric Bypass 20+ yrs ago problems…



Recommended Posts

I’m reposting this cause I put it in the wrong forum. I had my bypass over 20 yrs ago and have struggled from day one to eat Protein, especially meat and Beans. They make me throw up or they just sit there and fester in my tummy. I’m doing a Keto diet cause it makes me feel better not to eat bread and Pasta. My family doc doesn’t know anything except broken bones and colds so I don’t know what to tell him I need checked. Has anyone had this issue? I have lost so much hair the last few months because I need protein and I can’t seem to get enough. I’m also milk intolerant. Any suggestions?

You need to see a doctor; one that has some kind of experience with bariatric surgery. It's impossible for anyone here to tell you what's wrong, but clearly something is wrong.

The Protein supplements are good for now but I agree with minigastricbypassdude that you should see someone because clearly there is something going on that needs treatment. I would see a bariatric surgeon if possible. It would seem that if you are losing hair in the last few months that you have been getting more protein than you are getting now over the last 20 plus years?? Did something change? A good question for the doctor.

      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?
