Long term problems

[Lizzie617]

Hi everyone..anyone out there get queasy everytime they eat or drink? Any ladies going thru menopause? I'm 12 years out and 54 and workout almost every day but lately I've been getting worn out alot easier..my hair has thinned out considerably..I take my vitamins including a high dose of iron and biotin but also suffer with hypoglycemia and low sodium..I'm also on alot of meds for my head....so that's my story..now my question...are there any decent bariatric drs for long term patients? My original surgeon got fired and almost killed me with a painkiller overdose..I'm a very picky eater and know I'm malnutrition but I'd really like to see someone that knows their stuff..by the way I'm in Connecticut..would love to make friends and perhaps we can help each other out...keep up the good work ladies and gentlemen

Hi Lizzie and welcome to the group.

Wow, sorry to hear about your surgeon, that's insane! I'm glad to hear he was fired, I hope he lost his license too.

Sounds like you have a lot of things going on right now. Have you found a good gynecologist to help you through menopause? I'm not there yet but I'm sure it will be imperative to have a good doctor in my corner when it starts.

I'm hoping that the doctors in my surgeon's bariatric group will be here for me long term, even if my surgeon was to leave the practice. It's a group of 3 surgeons, a nutritionist, nurses and PAs. I'm in NY though so it would be a bit of a drive from CT. Perhaps your regular doctor can suggest someone in your area?

Good luck with everything and please keep writing. We love hearing from veterans.

I'm sorry to hear about your problems. I recently had my surgery on 10/11/2019 and worry about your exact issues down the road. I plan to stick closely to my surgeon's office, who has 4 surgeons, NP's, nutritionist and other staff that have actually been through the procedures. You might want to reach out to them online Journeylite. Dr. Curry is excellent at getting back with you. GOOD LUCK!!
