Gastrojejunostomy

Posted By Carolee on January 05, 1999 at 02:45:50:







I had a Billroth II gastrojejunostmy with 60+ percent of my stomach removed and a truncal vacotomy performed approximately two years ago.  I feel that currently I do not get the nutrients out of my food like I should.  My immune system seems to be non-existent, my memory does not seem to work right and I have no stamina.  I would like to know if there is anything that I can do to help me feel better.  I do currently take good vitamins (I need to take at least double the dose to feel any difference) and I am also on monthly B vitamin shots. I eat healthy, in fact I crave vegetable and fruit.  I assume that I must need something in them.
