Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Starlet, Sorry to hear your feeling so bad. I'm hoping things will get better real soon. Wonder if it's just a vitamin/mineral/nutrient kind of thing. Something that your now lacking that you weren't before. The body is a complex system. Wishing you lots of luck as you get through this. Take care and God bless! Laurette 4/23/04 open rny 309/290/245/150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Starlet, I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. The weight loss is great, but not if you're not eating. There can be massive effects on your body from not getting proper nutrition through both food and vitamins. Good thing you're seeing the doc today, let us know what happens. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 thanks bridget.. i had never heard of it, but have seen people talk about it on here.. amy Bridget Northam wrote: Hi Amy, MS is multiple sclerosis and its an autoimmune disease.

I think someone needs to find a new doctor. If a person is diagnosed with MS after surgery it will be a coincidence or perhaps triggered but the surgery itself does NOT cause diseases! People are often predisposed to certain diseases and then things (including stress) can trigger it but diseases like MS are usually genetic and not caused by something like surgery. They have done study after study on gastric bypass patients and have found no ties between the surgery and any diseases. Believe me if they did our insurance companies would be making a big deal about it to deny the surgery. For anyone questioning the dangers of the surgery I would say talk to your surgeon and also check out the obesityhelp.com website. Take care!

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 I would not be too freaked out. The odds that you have ms are very slight. There are a lot of factors that go into why and when you get it. I am sure that it is viral. The symptoms that you give are not the symptoms that my friend displayed. I know everyone is different but I still would not worry. We have given you what ms is but that is a worst case scenario. Wait to see what your doc says.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 There are a couple vitamin deficiencies that result in skin, digestive, neurological, or muscular disorders. For example, I have excerpted below some info for several nutrients in the B complex. I do not mean to scare anyone, just demonstrate that _some_ of the symptoms people are having can _sometimes_ result from nutritional deficiencies. As always, consult your surgeon. Niacin (Vitamin B3) deficiency causes pellagra. The symptoms include inflamed skin, digestive problems, and mental impairment. Folic acid (Vitamin B9) deficiency may cause poor growth, graying hair, inflammation of the tongue (glossitis), mouth ulcers, peptic ulcer, and diarrhea. It may also lead to certain types of anemias. Large doses of Vitamin B6 can cause neurological disorders and numbness. Deficiency of this vitamin can cause mouth and tongue sores, irritability, confusion, and depression. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) deficiency syndromes are characterized by sore throat, swelling of mucous membranes, mouth and/or lip sores, anemia, and dermatitis Thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency can cause weakness, fatigue, psychosis, and nerve damage. Thiamine deficiency in the U.S. is most often seen in alcoholics, because heavy drinking limits the ability of the body to absorb this vitamin from foods.
