I am interested in the following health related topics: obesity, diabetes, headache, hypertension, chronic depression, gastric bypass, Iron Deficiency Anemia, postprandial hypoglycemia, vague bodily discomfort, hypogonadism

A little bit about me:I have suffer (I hate that expression) from many different medical ailments. In 2006, I embarked on a process to change my medical problems and, consequently, my life.

In June of that year, I had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. As of May 2009, I have lost 200 lbs (though I've recently gained about 30 lbs). My Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obstructive sleep apnea have completely disappeared.

Due to my weight loss, though, I have developed postprandial (AKA reactive) hypoglycemia. My depression did get better at one point, but has actually gotten worse over time.

My life is infinitely better now, even though I still have about 100 lbs to lose to be at my goal weight. I'm hoping to find the information and inspiration I need to help me resolve my remaining issues (depression, hypoglycemia and obesity).
