My name is Jeannie and I had the DS surgery almost 5 years ago. I have lost over 250 lbs in the first year, and have never felt better in my life. I maintain my weight well now, but am struggling with a lot of different issues that you all probably can relate to. The most pressing right now is my Dr wants me to come in to discuss a revision of my surgery because my vitamin levels are and have been low. I have gone in for several infusions while waiting for my body to figure out how to absorb the food. Now it seems he is done waiting and just wants to cut me open again, and I don't want another surgery. I go through bariatric advantage for my vitamins, and do double the amount that they recommend. ALL my levels are low, every single one. I need to do something different and at one time I looked at changing my routine and decided against it, my Dr. felt that every vitamin company is the same, so he just told me to double up on everything. I'm ready to try to change things around, but I don't have much money right now. My insurance doesn't cover WLS and I'm afraid they won't cover the revision either. I am willing to disclose my levels for advice on what to do differently to try to get my levels up.
Thanks for the support!
