Leg Edema and low protein
Talk to Dr about protein losing enteropathy. It can cause leg swelling, malnutrition, nausea, pain, vitamin deficiencies despote supplementation. One of the tests is a stool alpha 1 antitrysin where it measures to see if you have protein in stool which is not normal.
Also too endoscopy further down in small intestine with biopsies.
It is one of the things that is being looked into for me.
I have swelling in my legs but had diagnosis of lymphedema before surgery and is worse now in conjuction to numerous severe deficiencies, nausea, ect.
Albumin and prealbumin levels can be low because the protein is leaking from intestines. It is hard to find in some people the area and areas affected but there is treatment and help but to need to find specialist best at teaching hospital or if bariatric doc willing to look at possibility bring the link I included printed out to appt and ask him/her.
It could have been preexisting happened afterward or unknown.
I have been told in my case that reversal can make things worse and not recommended by doctor at stanford and recently at ucla. am getting workups done. just posted my story with follow ups

I have sucess with apple sider vinegar (shot size and same natural honey) in an 16 oz bottle with water and a little honey. I put a ankle strap on my foot at night and by the next day all the swelling is down. It comes and goes and at first I thought this was really weird until it worked. It is best to make sure it is REALLY cold before you drink.
