What is

I had an Open RNY (Long limb- whatever that is) on May 8, 2001. My Gallbladder was removed LAP on March 1, 2002. At a year post op I still feel like I've been run over by a truck and have no energy. Anyway I just had a complete physical today (with blood work). My B-12 is now ok (but I have twice monthly shots). I'm slightly anemic and my red blood cell size (?) is slightly large. Finally my potassium is 4! I've had dangerously low potassium for this last year and several emergency room visits with IV's for potassium replacement. Also I have the beginning (just slightly) of osterosparosis. Anyway, the doc did a rectal exam and found that I have Yellow Stool. It is my understanding that if the bypass is done right, we do not absorbe fat to well and it causes yellow stool. Is this right? Thanks.
