I had the Roux-en-Y with distal anastomoses. Done 20 years ago with >100 lbs loss. Recovery was extremely difficult but once through the 3mo mark it was better. Now eat high protein, low sugar diet & have labs done 2X a yr to check for nutritional deficiencies. Usually low in zinc, selenium, folic acid & B vitamins. Supplement these. My irritable bowel got a lot better. Meds are tricky, some I need to take extra as pills will transit through almost unchanged. This is a problem when it comes to pain meds.given the mood in our country presently.
