I just ordered my supply today from amazon. Look for Solaray Vitamin E, Dry 400 IU. hey also have 1,000IU
I looked at those an Amazon and noticed the 1000 mg are soft gel caps. Look carefully!
Have you been diagnosed with Lipedema? It's a fat disease that makes it hard for people to lose weight. I would try to do some research on it. Some insurance companies are now paying for liposuction for people with this diagnosis.
Oh I'm sorry you are going through this, I sent you a PM.
If you have a specific question for me, PM me or I will not see it, as I don't check responses on the forums and don't have anything forwarded to my email.

Can I ask- how long ago was your original surgery? How old are you? I am having similar problems 17 years later.
Why so lo cal? I thought DS was supposed to allow for normal eating. 1000cal is very low.
yes you can revise from SADI, loop to BPD-DS. I will send my a PM

Same here. I have to be so careful. Most toothpastes even have sugar alcohols (itols). They absolutely tear up my stomach since my DS.
I agree and wish you all the *******so apologize if I sounded like a jerk. It's a hard path with a lot of obstacles but still well worth it.
I appreciate and respect the honest response and have considered all of the things you've mentioned. I have been working with a therapist consistently and my primary doctor to identify the root cause of the issues, both physical and mental. I am currently looking into finding a naturopath to hopefully help me find some other solution that my other providers and I have not yet thought of...Or at least do in conjunction with what I'm already trying. (I'm starting to wonder if there is a hormonal imbalance, especially given my challenges post-partum.)
I should also add that the reasoning behind the vitamins has more to do with the reflux itself. I've tried all kinds of brands and versions (especially while pregnant) but the flare they caused in my GERD symptoms were intolerable most days. My PCP recommended we focus on symptom management for now and monitor vitamin levels frequently until a GI specialist or surgeon was able to evaluate me...And here I am. (I still try to supplement calcium, iron and vitamin D at the very least.) Since my surgeon denied the revision, I am still awaiting contact from the specialized nutritionist to discuss how to tailor my diet to fit the needs of my DS but also curb some of the reflux issues. Trust me...I'm willing to try just about anything at this point - I'm just admittedly frustrated.
The only thing I can say for sure is that no two people are exactly the same and that is why there are so many surgical options out there still in existence. Some people who have had the same surgery say they eat everything they want without gaining a thing, others say they can't eat indulge in most anything without all day trips to the bathroom. I just can't envision myself continuing down this path without at least another opinion of someone more familiar with this kind of case.
