It's been a long time. 


I've had some
really bad health issues due to having had gastric bypass surgery
.


I was so happy with the way I looked but now
if I could go back and change it I would.


I am severely hypoglycemic, anemic and I have to take mega doses of vitamin d (50,000i.u. 3 times a week) in addition to my regular bariatric vits. 
 


I have horrible headaches every morning when I wake up.


I have no strength, can't open a jar, hard to open the car door - anything simple like that. I am NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY CAN REGULATE MY HYPOGLYCEMIA

It's ******g up my career.


My heart is constantly palpitating fast and hard.


It's ******g up my life.

I feel like I am going to black out or have a siezure. It's harder now to do an everyday task than it was when i was heavy.


I thought this, this almighty god given medical miracle was going to make me healthy and it is killing me.   I regret it.  I wish I would have never gotten this surgery.

(BTW, I had my surgery in May of 2005.  Everything was cool until 2 months ago and now the **** is seriously hitting the fan.  SERIOUSLY.  And it is because of gastric bypass surgery)

It sounds as if you might need serious intervention. Don't wait. Lawana

I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time of it! Just a thought that popped into my head being a nurse I think if you haven't very recently you should get your thyroid levels checked. Your symptoms of weakness, fatigue, headaches might be due to that and you can develop thyroid problems at any time.  I developed hyperthyroid a fw yr.s back and had all those symptoms, was very very sick. Hang in there sweetie, it will get better..Positive thoughts, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers..
