Asked By:bibbs in California, MD

My gastric bypass was in 2002. I had failed back surgery in 2011. I take 800 - 1200 mg of motrin and 100 MG Lyrica daily. I've taken the Lyrica for 4 months. I suddenly gained 20 lbs, i feel very bloated. I've been taking motrin or naprosyn daily for 6 yrs. I dont understand my current weight gain and bloating. I have keritosys scales on my face back and legs. I have depression & memory issues. Also the inside of my nostrils hurts. my lips constantly peel. My ferritin level is steady at 5.
