Experiences with

Gastric bypass

I’m gastric Bypass. Had 1 Prolia in Feb 12. Had CTX done so I can start Reclast. CTX is 89. Has ANYONE had Reclast going in with a score of 89?

in sept 2023 i had a gastric bypass and have lost over 100 lbs in a bit over a year. while I was prepared for the physical changes, post surgery and my body changing what I have been most surprised about is my emotional mental health changes.

I had a mini gastric bypass in 2008 which was converted to a RNY in 2018 which could be the issue. I fear that the opioids cause slow gut motility. (hence all these stomach issues and brain anxiety- but I have no life events that are causing the anxiety).

I can’t take any Bisphosphonates because I had Gastric Bypass. I don’t know what to do. Is there anyone out there that been on Prolia and can’t take a Bisphosphonate? I would love to hear what you took in place. TY!

Out of frustration, I took out a loan and went to Latvia for a Gastric Bypass in 2021. (very reckless i know, but i was desperate for answers and could not see an alternative).

I had a gastric bypass done in 2018 and my weight has been stable for a few years now. Every time I go in with any issue, they see the TSH and it's like an 'aha, that's the problem' and they just don't look too closely at anything else.

Just to give you all the info, I had a gastric bypass around 20 years ago and despite that have gained around 3 stone over the last 3 years which I am desperate to shift.

I have malabsorption due to a gastric bypass about 20 years ago. Many thanks 😊

Hi all I got to see a Consultant Gastroenterologist (Surgeon) yesterday and she’s agreed to take out my Gastric band 🤩 I said I believe it’s caused me to become ‘probably’ deficient in B12! (NICE guidelines ) She said no with a gastric band 🙈 but other obesity operations! I have read some studies

If you remember I have had a gastric bypass and my absorption isn’t good. Vitamin D came back in the normal range though still isn’t great. It looks like I’m going to have to self administer B12 so if I could get some advice about where to buy some I’d be really grateful.

Firstly, thank you all for my initials post a couple of months ago, where I was scared and refused my initial bypass surgery. Which came to me very unexpected. Th responses of support and sharing of personal experiences were of such confort and encouragement. Thank you ALL, who has shared and supported

Hello. Following a recent angiogram I have been told I need a LIMA to LAD bypass. Having looked online it seems like they can do it using minimally invasive techniques and we noticed that the surgeon I have been referred to has that as one of his special interests. May be putting 2 and 2 together and

Hi everyone.. been researching travel insurance for the states... no issues getting cover ( hubby had bypass surgery 11 years ago)...

Over the weekend my dad had a major heart attack and was told the arteries on the side of his heart have been blocked for some time, with the right side compensating. He was given an emergency angiogram but they didn’t insert any stents - they said he’d need up to 5. My initial thoughts were that they

After a triple heart bypass, I have been at home from the hospital two days and can only walk from one room to another or up a flight of stairs then I become out of breath, I am also coughing up phloem and hear a crackling sound in my breathing. Is this normal?

Hi, I had some shortness of breath late in 2024 and decided to have it checked. After several visits to Derby hospitals, I had an angiogram. The results were less than promising with 3 nearly blocked arteries, "severe" artery disease. The consultant spoke to me immediately afterwards and explained that
