I had a gastric bypass in 2018. I've not felt right since despite following advice.
I get a lot of abdo discomfort. I was given an upper endoscopy in 2019, told all clear, & sent on my way. Additionally my iron levels, my B12, & my Vit D are shot.
So i need B12 jabs every 8 weeks, iron infusions, & despite supplements D & calcium are still very low. I am dizzy & extremely tired. GP is not interested.
I recentlly did a routine stool test which came back as positive for blood so I have been told I will be given a colonoscopy. I had the info call today. I explained that I sometimes have bright red blood when I have a bowel movement & I have a lot of abdo pain. They are going to fit me in 'in around 6-8 weeks'.
I wondered if the two things could be linked, or if the colonoscopy comes back negative, I should ask for further consideration for the roux en y to be reversed?
