Hi My name is Sue I'm new I'm 57 and bee overweight most of my adult life.
I had my gastric bypass in Jan 13th 2014 I weighted 21 st 7lb but at 23st at my heaviest I had my surgery was at Shrewsbury Royal Hospital, Mr Rivera did the operation, I'm down to 15.12 in 6 months I think that it's brilliant, the only downside is I am suffering from fatigue it's like someone has taken my batteries out and I just fall asleep for hour's had some blood tests and it's showing that I have anemia so I'm on ironItablets at the moment, does anyone else have similar problems with fatigue?I would be interested to hear from you xxx

Have you had B12 injections I'm only 6 months out, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be able to point you in the right direction

I've just been diagnosed with anaemia and have been put on to iron tablets too. But again, like you, this for me has been the only 'down side' to they whole thing xx
