Back from my Pre-op appt

Well, I'm all set for my surgery next Wednesday (18th) at 9:30 a.m. I was getting pretty nervous but after I spoke with Dr. Roller I felt really good and confident.  They gave me a B-12 shot too and said my levels were on the low side. That left me wondering if some of this exhaustion I've been feeling was B-12 related. I have been having really bad fatigue for 4 years now and am even taking Wellbutrin to fight it but it doesn't really help that much. I just assumed I would have to deal with it forever. So maybe the B-12 and weight loss will help. Also wanted to pass on that Wendy is doing really well. She had her RNY yesterday and is still in the hospital. Tammy

Thanks for posting about Wendy. If you hadn't posted anything, I was going to ask around and see if anyone knew. Dr.Roller's the best!

I am glad to hear that Wendi is doing well. I also was curiuos. ANd Tammy no need to worry. Dr. Roller is the best. You will be fine and joining us on the losers bench before you know it.

Hi Tammy,  glad to hear you're all set for your surgery next week....I know you are excited!  Your fatigue probably was due to your low B-12.  Mine was dangerously low when I had my surgery, didn't find that out though until my 2 wk. post op appt.....I just thought I was really really lazy!  I now give myself a B-12 shot once a month and have not had any more problems with fatigue since I got my levels up to normal.  Hopefully it will take care of your fatigue too!  Glad to hear Wendy is doing well, we'll look forward to her post when she feels up to it.  Good luck to you!

Thanks Denise! Now if I can just keep from eating everything in sight...Yeah, the B-12 thing is wierd. My DH was having heart palpitations, shortness of breath and fatigue in '07 and finally found out that his B-12 was lower than a 70 year old's. Now with mine being low too we are wondering if we might have had a virus that got to us both. That was one of the possibilities from DH's Dr. I guess. Anyways, I was very tired today but I had carbs today so I blame that! Oh yeah, and the fact that I'm 90 overweight:) Take care - You look great!

Congratulation on getting a surgery date!
