Be sure to diagnose what, if anything might be wrong with you before you proceed with bariatric surgery. An ex's sister had Lupus and she had a hard time finding a doctor to follow her. Back then Gastric Bypass was contraindicated with lupus. I remember her labs were a problem and she had to 'doctor shop" until she found someone who was not so particular. She was a nurse so I am sure she figured something out.
Hi, I had surgery when I did not know that I had HCV, I was given a lot of pain medication, anesthesia without knowing that my liver was damaged.
The surgery affected me for a very long time, please be careful. I was in a brain fog for a year. My husband said I never recovered. You are too valuable to take chances with your life. If I had known that I had HCV back then I would not have had the surgery.
Another member on here had surgery, he did not know that he had HCV and his liver decompensated.
I am not a doctor just a fellow patient who has been there
Take Care
My best to you
