I just found this board....I posted this at OH also. I don't know if the same people post here as do there?
This is probably gonna be long so thanks in advance for reading and I appreciate any input!
i was sleeved back in March of 2010. Scheduled for Nov 28th in Mexicali with Dr. Ungson to have the switch part added. I have no idea if I need a re-sleeve or not and will let him make that decision. I do still have restriction but not nearly as much. my HW was 292, my SW was 273, my LW was somewhere around 160. My CW is 200. I never did make it to goal. I dealt with a lot of health issues over the last several years...none of which were sleeve related in any way.
I'm not nervous about going to Mexico or having the procedure done but my husband is. He is reluctantly going along with it because as he says...I don't have any logical or rational reasons for opposing it other than I just don't want you to do it. He knows how I am and he knows I've researched it to death and did all of my due diligence. He does have some concerns about the whole re-routing of my plumbing parts and long term implications of that. I sent him to dsfacts and he's been reading up. He is my rock and my biggest supporter even though he's not 100% convinced this is necessary. I haven't told very many people I'm doing this because everybody is negative about it.
I ordered a 60 day supply of the prepackaged DS vitamins from VL. I'm going to start taking those as soon as they arrive. I haven't been taking any vitamins lately at all except my primary has me on a 12 week course of 50,000 u of Vit D (1 pill/week). I need to work on getting my ferritin levels up. I had become severely anemic a few years ago due to female issues and had a hysterectomy and then a 6 hour iron infusion. All the hematologist really cared about were my h&h levels.
Labs is my business..I run a direct access lab test company. Anybody can order their own labs through us at big discounts. I went and had labs run last week. Below are some of my results.
iron, serum 91
albumin 4.2
prealbumin 21
potassium 4.4
calcium serum 9.6
protein total serum 6.9
b12 421
folic acid 6.4
vitamin D 23.9
vit B1 plasma (I goofed and ordered plasma instead of whole blood - plasma shows only recent intake rather than body stores) <6.7 LOW
magnesium 1.9
zinc 117
ferritin 20
PTH intact 39
vitamin a 39
so given I'm going to start the VL DS regimen as soon as they arrive, is what's included in that sufficient to raise my ferritin levels or should I get something else in addition to try to get it up?
