I've had some serious issues as of late with my WLS life---kinda of the mind now that I wish I had never done this...

but that is beside the point.....

I've learned from research that the malabsorption issues of RNY can play havoc with our bodies---sending us into severe malnutrition---which I'm facing right now

I've talked on my blog about the multiple supplements we really need to be taking---not just the regular prescribed multi-vitamin, calcium, B-12, and iron

anyway--to make sure you are not having any difficulties with malnutrition yourself---my most recent blog post has a list of lab work that needs to be done every 3-6 months to make sure you are getting in the proper nutrients--

be proactive in your own care--don't just beleve it when the doc tells you your labs are fine---know what they are drawing to be sure.......

your vitamin regimen will be based on these labs

I keep praying for you. I am hoping that everything gets worked out for the best for you, my friend. You mean a lot to me!

Oh my gosh!
I wish you the best at regaining your health!

It's a good warning to all of us to keep those labs up to date and to
FOLLOW Dr.s directions.

Blessing to you as you re-gain your health!

Bama...thank you for all the information you put in here for us.

I reviewed the list of lab orders that I have for this friday, and only three of those tests were on there. As soon as I called my doctors office, they said they will run whatever I want...and added them.

I can't wait to see where I am sitting level-wise.

Thanks!

Grrr...it posted before I was done.

I hope that you get to feeling better quickly...you are on my prayer list.

Take care.
