Intestinal Bypass precursor to PN
 

This surgery is no longer done. I had mine in 1973.ffrom what I have read the surgery csused problems in several areas. Like kidney liver problems as well as deficiency issues in some vitamins. Did snyone out there have this surgery or one of the newer approches to weight loss surgery. Develop PN

Oh, MY! I sure wish you had told us sooner! How old were you when you had that surgery?

Most definitely. Yes, we have had bariatric patients on this forum.
Most recently a young woman with severe PN in her feet which is now spreading.

Bariatric surgeries impair absorption of all nutrients. If yours is a gastric bypass, you have no stomach functions at all?

Can you share your diet with the readers here? So we can get an idea of what you may need.

No I had intestinal bypass in 1973. I eat anything I want to eat. The doctor told me green vegetables especially leafy ones would cause gas. I did have to have liver function test every 6 months for a couple of years. The only trouble I ever had was my fault. I got depressed in 1978 or 79 and pretty much stopped eating wound up in hospital with severely depleated potassium. Then a couple of times Ihad potassium drop but last time was 2009.
I did find out the type of surgery does limit my ability to absorb fat soluble vitamins.
Just put the post out here to see if anyone had same surgery and if they had problems
