Dawncherise got a reaction from lindave in anyone else here had surgery more than 10 years ago?
Hi,
Im new here but had the mgb in 2001. I originally lost about 125 pounds and have gained back alot of weight, mostly over the last 3-4 years.
I was hoping to find some others here who have had the surgery a while back. I have a few issues I would like to ask some questions about.
My Iron count is at 5 which is dangerously low and I have yet to find an Iron supplement that I absorb. I just found the iron patch and will receive it this week. I'm hoping it works and that I don't have to have the iron infusion.
I really would like to lose the weight again but have found it extremely difficult to lose anything I still can not eat very much, Im going to try the Unjury Protein I just saw on here. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.
Thanks
Dawn

I am 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass surgery. This is the approach I use in the Maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf My blood work last year showed that I was deficient in Iron. They recommended that I use an Iron supplement (65 mg Ferrous Sulfate). There are at least 2 types of iron supplements available and this chemistry is the one recommended for best absorption. It is important to consider iron time spacing with the Calcium supplements. If you take them the same time, the iron will not be absorbed. For that reason I take my iron just before bedtime so that it will not interfere with my Calcium supplements and also any calcium I might absorb when I drink milk.
