Hello everyone,

Can anyone give me any insight into malnutrition as a result of have gastric bypass???

My family doctors found high levels of bilirubin in my urine and ordered a blood test to investigate it further??? apparently its a sign of poor liver function??

Im nervous, I have nausea, Im really tired alot, I just don't feel well??

Well I do know that malnutrition is possible. Is the nausea something new or have you been having trouble for an extended period of time? In general how have you been eating? How many calories do you get in during the day, how much protein?

If you are malnourished it will be important to find out why? Once that question can be answered then they will know which direction to go to find a way of treating it.

Let us know how things progress.

I know my doc really is adament about taking all of the vitamins and supplements. He says if I take them as I am told there should be no reason to become malnourished. That said, you should definitely get back to the doc and have more tested to find out the culprit. Good luck to you.

That is not nesserly true, I took my vitamins everyday up to the day before my reversal, I was highly malnutriend,if you cant eat you can become malnutreind, there is alot of ways you can that being said i've been there done the testing and they really never figured out why i became the way i did, but i do suggest you get all the testing done as i would like to know what the docters have to say?
