Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hi gang, I need help trying to determine what is going on here. I am 23 months post op.. have lost 205 pounds and seem to be at a standstill.. which is ok for now.. because I am dealing with other issues. I have had elevated pt and ptt times.. bleeding times lately.. I took a three week course of injected vitamin k.. and an 8 week course of oral vitamin k.. my pt and ptt levels increased. My GI doctor wanted to be sure nothing was going on with my liver.. so I underwent a liver biopsy.. which showed a normal liver.. no evidence of the previously diagnosed fatty liver .. which is a good thing. I am also experiencing constant nasal sores.. little white pimply sores deep inside my nose as well as on the outer edges inside. These are quite painful.. I am now getting some little places alongside my outer lips that feel and look like fever blisters. I am iron deficient anemic and taking 150 mg elemental iron three times a day.. alone and with vitamin C. Do any of you have any ideas what is going on here. I am distal RNY.. 60 in common channel, drink 5 - 6 protien shakes a day.. my protein levels have come way up from last winter.. still on the low normal side , but at least in the normal range now. I am also very fatigued, but have been attributing the fatigue to autoimmune disease.. fibromyalgia and lupus. Thanks.. Hugs, from GA open RNY 12/12/00 Revision 04/18/01 Revision 02/07/02 St wt.... 392 Cw.......187 Wt loss..-205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
