    4 yrs out and worse than anemic -- anyone else?

    Yes, just recently, six months in, they said they can't tell if it is mal-absorbtion or due to GI bleeding or a malignancy.

I would keep away from anything with citric, ascorbic or lactic acid as most powder drinks have. I found low sugar gator...

    Hair loss an hair color

    I don't know anything about hair color, but the hair loss is due to the combined stress of surgery, anesthesia and quick weight loss. The consensus is that B vitamins help you recover from the stress. There are several concoctions of B vitamins on the market, as you probably know. But enough of...

    Feeling dejected...

    Forgive me for asking, do you have other weight related health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure. I would not give up if I were you. I would make my case for WLS in a letter and highlight related health problems and your history of trying to lose weight. Never give up and never take no...
