Vagal Neuropathy: What You Need to Known During COVID 19

15. Thanks. I do take B12, that was one of the two things they told me afterward.

They told me to eat small portions and that I'd need a B12 shot once a month because I can't absorb it from food. Everything else I had to learn on my own, my docs had never even heard of dumping syndrome. Thankfully, I found a partial gastrectomy group online and learned a lot. That was 1995. A few months ago I joined a support group on facebook and I'm just amazed at the difference between then and now. They get nutritionists and drugs I've never heard of, doctors appointments what seems like every week, tubes, supplemental feeding, all sorts of stuff that if I needed I didn't know it and I'm glad, lol. I got eat small meals and call me in six months. In six months I asked questions he didn't even understand much less answer.

Damn, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't know why I ever thought my doctors would know anything to begin with. I diagnosed my own pyloric stenosis in the first place, by looking in my mom's medical book with the follow the arrows if yes or no thingies from Reader's Digest, and it took two office visits and a really disgusting story from the night before to convince them that I knew what was wrong with me and they needed to do more than give me pills.
