I'm becoming more upset about this iron issue. Just got a call from my doc. No change in my iron levels at all. I've been getting injections for weeks and NOTHING. She wants me to keep doing the weekly injections and re-test in 3 mo and go from there. 3 months from now I'll be in Vancouver and have to go through this all over again with a new doc.
WHY is my body not keeping iron? Even if I ate NOTHING AT ALL, the injections should be making SOME help
Does this mean that I won't be able to maintain my iron for the rest of my life? Will I need another transfusion? I'm scared of this now.

So sorry you aren't well. I'm scheduled for my surgery 5/14 and am wondering is this common for sleeve patients
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't let my experience deter you from your decision for surgery. I've had issues with my blood all my life and it's likely rearing it's head again now that there's nothing left for my body to complain about since I lost weight!!
ReplyDeleteI know several very happy healthy sleeves and I also know a few with medical issues. You need to make this decision for you and what you're comfortable with, don't base your fear on how someone else is doing.
I hope to hear back from you again soon!!
I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I wonder if you should switch doctors. I'm not sure if that matters or not but it's always good to get a second opinion. I'm thinking of you.
