  1. I just saw my oncologist this morning (I had stage 2A breast cancer) and my CBC labs are now showing I am anemic. I have fought this before on and off caused from the chemo/radiation, however, I wonder how much of this is now related to the sleeve? Oncologist didn't want me to change any of my vitamins/meds so I am going to lob a call to the surgeon. I am not looking to increase my iron because it really messes up my bathroom stops. The good news is my oncologist was really proud of my accomplishments so far with my WL. I love positive feedback! He told me that there are 11 cancers that are directly linked to obesity. It was this doctor that made me go from thinking about WLS to having my WLS. I am doing this for me.

      Oh wow! Mine too! Congrats on your great appointment result!!! Sorry about the anemia. I'm fighting that too here. Wonder if it's from the chemo/rad? My surg said to start taking my iron pill daily and let's check it in 3 months.

      Congrats on doing this for you and fighting like a warrior!
