2 years ago I had gastric bypass surgery, I have been sick the whole time, in and out of the hospital at least 10 times, I was diagnosed with ascites (fluid in the belly) and hypoalbumenemia (very low protein absorption causing fluid to bleed out into the tissue creating edema in the lower extremeties) all of which gives me a diagnosis of malnutrition! Most recent (4 weeks ago) I changed doctors and I was in the hospital and they performed a lung tap which was long over due. My health is still not any better but the new doctors have taken a more agressive approach to getting me healed. Is there anyone out their who has experienced similar problems or who can relate. If so please help I'm looking for a better understanding of whats going on and what can be done to relieve these problems if possible. Thanks in advance!!!
